Sounds like a nice shop! Thanks for the advice with the leash.

You can get tangled in a loop or kink.
Kinks are also more likely to break!


Well that explains why it kept curling around! Lol.


The guy helping me was a nice surfer bro who had been surfing since he was 4, but I guess he missed the little details.
