What size leash for a 7 ft board?
One of the key factors when choosing a leash is ensuring that its length matches your board size. As a general rule of thumb, your leash should be around 1-2 feet longer than your board. For example, if you’re riding a 7’0″ longboard, you’ll need a leash that’s about 8’0″ in length. Choosing between a bicep or wrist bodyboard leash is about what works best for you. Bicep leashes give more mobility and less drag, which is excellent for advanced manoeuvres. Wrist leashes are easy to use and comfortable, making them a solid choice at an affordable price for beginners.Not sure which type of leash to get? Most prone riders prefer bicep leashes as they allow you to swim with your upper body more efficiently and board during your stroke. Wrist leashes also work well though and are great for drop knee boards or kick boards, but it’s really all personal preference!Not sure which type of leash to get?

What type of leash is better?
If your pup is still in training, a standard flat leash or an adjustable leash can provide better control. Well-trained dogs with good leash manners may do well with a retractable leash for a bit more freedom. Harnesses are simply the safest, most secure, and most comfortable way to hook your dog up to his leash. A good harness will reduce pulling, increase your control over your pup, and decrease stress on his neck and joints.Bungee leashes provide extra leeway for your dog to move freely as you walk together. If your pup pulls a little bit, this may be a good option because it lessens the pull on their neck and throat. Bungee options also provide some extra comfort for you when your dog pulls away.Unlike back clip harnesses, where the leash attaches to a ring on the dog’s back, front clip harnesses encourage better leash manners. When your dog pulls, the leash attached at the chest gently redirects their attention back to you, making walks more pleasant and controlled.
Is a 4ft or 6ft leash better?
The Classic Choice: 6-Foot Leashes A 6-foot leash is the most commonly used length for dog training. It offers a good balance between control and freedom for your dog. It allows you to maintain close control when needed while giving your dog enough room to explore and move around during training sessions. For a board measuring 6’3 or less, we recommend a 6′ leash while for all boards from 6’4 to 7′ we recommend a 7′ leash. It is always better to have a leash that is a little too big than too small, for safety reasons!
