FCS Freedom Leash

The Freedom Leash uses an over-braided nylon cord that is significantly thinner and lighter than traditional urethane cords. This construction reduces drag in the water and minimizes tangling, making it feel less noticeable while you are surfing.

No, this leash is specifically engineered for smaller surf conditions under 5 feet. If you are regularly surfing larger, more powerful waves, you should opt for a thicker, heavy-duty leash designed for higher tension.

The cuff is designed with a silicone grip print on the interior, which helps keep it securely in place on your ankle. Combined with the 3mm neoprene padding, it is built to stay comfortable and stable throughout your session.

This leash is optimized for shortboards. Because it is a 6-foot straight leash designed for performance and minimal drag, it is not recommended for longboards, which generally require longer leashes to prevent the board from snapping back after a wipeout.

The limited-stretch cord is designed to return to its original length after being pulled, which helps prevent the leash from getting tangled around your fins or feet. It provides a more direct connection to your board without the 'bungee' effect of more elastic leashes.
