Howzit gdog, There was no such thing when a lot of us started surfing. At Hanalei there is a saying" no cords on longboards". Hate them myself. Aloha,Kokua
Best Answer…Knowaloha’s.
as I get older I believe I will have need for a leash
if I EVER WANNA SURF IN NEW JERSEY with the guy
that just threatened to ding my board when some kid
cant get out ot the way or catch my board on the way
by and return it to me to compliment me on a stellar
wipe out.
Leash entitlement,to wipe out with impunity,
to drop in on everything and everybody,
never think of helping retrieve any body elses stuff
scold others for wipin out at them,
never learning to paddle out in the channel,
and sitting inside the take off on every body.
encourages me to not wanna surf new Jersey with that guy.
Surf anywhere with leash based self esteem.
Suffer the opinions of leash addicts
whose swimming abilities are rarely tested
and have yet to learn to bodysurf to retrieve their boards.
I think anyone using an american standard toilet
should use an ankle leash to prevent the rare but iminent
threat of being sucked down the sewer,but thats just my psychosis.
Being raised to use an outhouse,where the excrement falls free and lands audibly
and predictably,these here toilets when you sit a spell and the tissues relax
the cold water interupts a good read.thank goodness I aint there now.
gettin’ a ticket for no leash…I predicted that a few years back, on another I love leashes
thread.How long before you get jail time? I’ll bet people who wear leashes enough
wouldnt have to artificially inseminate their leash to reproduce them.
Or who are the natural parents of leashes?
surf accessories mfgs and beach cops.
…ambrose…
dont listen to that old guy
he’s been surfin’ 48 years
and never wore a pukin leg rope.
if you ate a leash how long do you think it would take before
you wouldn’t have to atatch it to your ankle?
quite a bit more efficient if it were sticking from
one’s arse.
Perhaps an eyelet implant
between the cheeks
would help to keep from
entangling one’s feet
in the dangling rope.
I love people with leashes
they look so sporty
and commited to such
risky an activity as riding waves.
bless their hearts.
And may they remain safe
far away from me.
6000 miles will
do do Do.
Hello,
Since i went to surf in southern california this winter i never where a leash again.
Love the feeling to be free on your board especially when noseriding.
I think you get more controle and make better choices in moves.
Like Mickey said.leashes ruined surfing hahahah
cheers Angelo
leashes are like condoms… they totally ruin the experience
My Dad didn’t let me use a leash until “it didn’t matter whether I had one or not”. I still think that leashes, along with 3 finned boards and good wetsuits, have caused most good breaks to be over crowded.
I mostly ride paipo’s, logs and mini-simmons now, and I never use a leash. I haven’t let go of a board for years. But at the same time, I don’t ride waves much over head high. I call that 6 foot, since thats how tall I am. But I think that would be 2 foot Hawaiian, or 1 foot Silly.
I agree. I try to educate beginners that they should always act as if they have no leash. Which means, always hold on to your goddam board.
I’ve always said that if leashes went away there’d be far fewer people in the water. Too many depend on the leash as a crutch for their lack of skill and ability. Many would never make it ‘outside’ if they had no leash. Quite a few would get discouraged by having to swim a lot, and find another hobby. That would suit me just fine.
