I kite surf aswell as paddle in, the kite often pulls you during a crash so the leash get's loaded up and can then spring back at you... unless modern surf leashes aren't as springy as i think they are...

Hi again Lewis, I don' know when you last looked at a modern leash, most are progressive stretch and release neoprene and come back relatively slowly, I can understand why you wouldn't want a kite rig coming back at you, but I wouldn't to take the full shock of a wipeout on any joint either.

We have quite crew here, I'll ask them about it.

This aint a fixed leash and as previously mentioned, you won't find one easily nowadays! check out this Dakine Kainui leash though, real tough urethane and great quality for the price... so you wont mind if it even just ends up being a leash for your pooch! :mrgreen: :unuts:
