Here's a really basic guide to choosing a leash:
Riding a Shortboard/Funboard/Fish
Check out the
Matrix or
Torpedo leashes - if you're riding smaller waves we really recommend looking at the
Comp leash.
Riding a Longboard
Main decision is whether you want a
Knee leash or not. If not again have a look at the
Comp leash if you're only out in smaller waves or the
Torpedo as the best all rounder.
Big waves and Travel
If you're surfing big, committing waves or you're travelling and want an almost unbreakable leash check out the
Jumbo.
