FCS Freedom Helix All Around Leash

FCS Freedom Helix All Around Leash

Surfers comparing FCS Freedom Helix leashes are usually deciding between cord lengths and comp versus all-round builds, and this all-round version pairs a 6 foot cord with a lighter, faster feel than a standard leash. The 6 foot cord is made from natural bio-resin, and FCS built the Helix line specifically to up performance levels while staying lighter and faster than what surfers are used to.

Construction and Features

• Naturally sourced, corn-based bio-resin construction for a lighter and stronger cord
• Inner helix design that straightens under load to absorb shock and amplify strength
• Textured cord surface that creates smoother water flow, resulting in less drag
• Silicone grip print around the ankle strap to reduce slipping
• 2mm neoprene padding that stays thin, light, and comfortable
• Low profile molded velcro for a stronger, more reliable closure
• Molded pull-tab with a finger grip designed for quick release
• Helix overmould that maximizes strength while providing stretch when strained
• Reinforced, elongated horn that reduces back foot tangling
• Slim rail saver made with Hypalon and molded velcro for extra strength
• Titanium swivels for durability, light weight, and corrosion resistance
• Cord thickness of 5mm and leash length of 6 feet, specifically made for waves under 4 feet

Who This Leash Is For

Because FCS specifies this leash for waves under 4 feet, it is built for the everyday, smaller South Florida swell days rather than heavier surf, making it a good all-round leash for regular sessions on typical local wave sizes. The lighter bio-resin cord and reduced drag design suit a surfer who wants a leash that stays out of the way during normal turns rather than adding noticeable drag.

Fit, Use, and Care

Secure the ankle strap snugly using the silicone grip print to keep it from slipping, and use the molded pull-tab for a quick release if you need to detach fast. Rinse the cord and rail saver in fresh water after every session to clear salt, let the leash dry fully before coiling it for storage, and periodically check the helix cord for cracking, the velcro for wear, and the titanium swivels for smooth rotation.
