Dakine Superlite Longboard Calf Leash

A calf leash is designed specifically for longboarders who move around the board. By mounting the cuff on your calf rather than your ankle, the cord stays out of your way, which significantly reduces the chance of tripping or tangling while you are cross-stepping or walking the nose.

This leash is rated for surf up to a couple of feet overhead, making it ideal for the smaller to moderate conditions typically associated with longboarding. If you are regularly surfing heavy, powerful waves, you would be better served by a thicker, heavy-duty leash.

Yes, the hollow Dura-Cord is engineered to float. This buoyancy helps keep the leash on the surface of the water rather than dragging behind you, which prevents it from snagging on your feet or getting caught on the bottom in shallow water.

The cuff is built with a low-profile, 1.5-inch molded neoprene material designed to sit securely on your calf without digging in. It is lightweight and minimizes bulk, so it should remain comfortable even during extended sessions.

While you technically could, it is not recommended. This leash is specifically engineered for longboards, and the calf-mount design is intended to facilitate longboard-specific movements that you generally do not perform on a shortboard.
