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. A general rule when choosing your surfboard leash is that it should be the same length (or slightly longer if your board is in-between sizes) as the board it’s being used on. For example, if your surfboard is 6’0, use a 6’0 leash. If it’s 6’6 surfboard, grab a 7’0” leash.The bodyboard leash connects to your arm from one end to the board from the other. It is an essential wave riding gear item from entry to advanced levels. There are two types of bodyboard leashes: the wrist leash and the bicep leash. Both models have pros and cons, so it is usually only a matter of personal preference.
