Dakine Kaimana Pro Comp Surf Leash

Comp stands for competition. These leashes are designed with a thinner cord diameter—in this case, 3/16 inch—to reduce drag in the water, making them lighter and faster than standard leashes, though they are generally intended for smaller to medium-sized surf.

The Kaimana Pro Comp is specifically engineered for shoulder-high waves. While it is durable, if you are regularly surfing in overhead conditions, you should opt for a thicker, heavy-duty leash to ensure your board doesn't get away from you.

The Zero Distraction cuff features an ergonomic base plate designed to contour to your ankle more naturally. This minimizes the leash's movement and bulk, helping it feel less noticeable while you are paddling or riding.

Yes, the Infinite Flex 360-degree molded ends are designed to allow the cord to rotate freely at the connection points. This flexibility significantly reduces the likelihood of the leash wrapping around your ankle or fins during a session.

Even though it uses marine-grade stainless steel swivels, it is best practice to rinse your leash with fresh water after every session. This prevents salt buildup and sand from compromising the swivel rotation and the integrity of the cord.
