HOW TO : take care of your leash !!!

HOW TO : Take care of your Leash!!! Here are some good tips on Leash care that will help it last longer : – The most frequent error is wrapping your Leash around the Tail of your Board between sessions. In time your Leash will keep this same form in the water and end up constantly getting caught in your feet and Fins. – Once you arrive at home, the first thing you should do is rinse it with fresh water. Salty Sea water can be aggressive on the materials used like the velcro, as well as metallic parts that hold it all together. – Most Leashes are made with Urethane. This material is very sensitive to UV Rays, so it is highly recommended to not leave it exposed to the sun for long periods of time. – So when you are storing your Board it is wise to attached the velcro to the tip of your Board. This method keeps it slightly taught, and straight and minimizes the chances that it gets caught up. An important point, never forget that for your own safety and that of others, you should without fail change your Leash every year and/or if it shows any signs of damage. And always have one or more backup Leashes in your gear ;)!! Advisor : Patrice Guénolé et GONG Surfboards. Source : Team GONG Surf, we share what we do.
