A Pro-Caliber Collaboration Built for the Water
The Dakine x Mayhem Kainui Plus Leash is the product of two surf industry heavyweights combining their strengths. Dakine has spent over four decades developing surf accessories trusted by top professionals across every board sport, and Mayhem Surfboards brings the progressive performance DNA of one of surfing's most respected shaping labels. The result is a leash built for surfers who demand more from every session.
Construction and Hardware
The Kainui Plus features a urethane cord engineered to stretch under load and return to form without kinking or tangling between sets. Double stainless steel swivels at the ankle and rail ends rotate freely, preventing the cord from coiling and reducing drag while you surf. The rail tab connects to your leash plug via a strong hook-and-loop strap with a reinforced loop tie. The Dakine-branded board rail tab keeps the connection point low-profile and secure.
Mayhem Ankle Cuff
The padded Mayhem-branded ankle cuff wraps your ankle in neoprene cushioning for comfort during extended sessions without chafing or pressure points. The cuff is designed to stay put under the force of wipeouts without restricting blood flow or movement during turns. A durable hook-and-loop closure keeps the fit dialed in regardless of what the ocean throws at you.
Who This Leash Is For
The Kainui Plus is designed for performance shortboarding in overhead and above conditions where cord strength, reliable swivels, and a secure ankle fit matter most. It is the kind of leash you strap on and stop thinking about so you can focus on surfing. Available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Dakine x Mayhem Kainui Plus different from a standard Dakine leash?
- This is a co-branded collaboration between Dakine and Mayhem Surfboards. It combines Dakine's proven leash hardware and construction with a Mayhem-branded ankle cuff, making it a collector-worthy piece for fans of both brands as well as a high-performance leash for serious surf sessions.
- What type of surfing is the Kainui Plus designed for?
- The Kainui Plus is built for performance shortboarding. The 6-foot cord length and robust swivel system are well-suited to overhead and larger surf where a secure, tangle-resistant leash matters most.
- How do I attach the Kainui Plus to my surfboard?
- Thread the rail tab loop through your board's leash plug, then pass the rail tab back through the loop to lock it in place. Wrap the hook-and-loop strap around the rail tab and secure it firmly before entering the water.
- How do I care for this leash after surfing?
- Rinse the leash thoroughly with fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and debris. Allow it to dry out of direct sunlight to preserve the urethane cord and neoprene cuff. Avoid leaving it coiled tightly for extended periods, which can cause the cord to set in a kinked shape.
- Why does the Kainui Plus use double swivels?
- Double swivels, one at the ankle cuff end and one at the rail tab end, allow the cord to rotate freely at both connection points. This keeps the leash from wrapping around your legs and reduces drag during maneuvers, which is a meaningful advantage in high-performance surfing.
- Is the Dakine x Mayhem Kainui Plus available in store?
- Yes. You can shop the Kainui Plus leash at Island Water Sports in South Florida or order online at islandwatersports.com.
