I learned to surf without a leash so perhaps that colors my perspective but leashes break and you need to be aware of your surroundings and hopefully have a better plan than holding your board in front of you to protect yourself. But also if you are a beginner without a leash then you need to stay away from others till you learn to control your board. Every surfer before the advent of leashes learned to hang onto their board mostly because it meant you had to swim in to get it if you lost your board. These skills take time to develop so do it where you aren't going to injure anyone. The more stories I hear from Hanalei the more it seems like a zoo.

Ahahaah there are some french dudes in their late ages that surf and grapple onto their boards, you sound just like them.
The kind of person that bearhugs their board and goes over the falls with it because of old habits
By the way OP did you confront the person?

You sound like the kind of beginner who bails on their board because they don't care if it rams into other surfers. I don't know about Morocco, but that habit doesn't go over well in most lineups around here.

Well neither does it here, Morrocan lineups are known for fist fights in the water and on the beach
