Dakine Imua Comp Surf Leash
The Imua Comp is Dakine's competition-oriented surf leash, built for surfers who want a leash that keeps up in shoulder high and smaller conditions without dragging extra bulk through a turn. Anyone searching for a Dakine comp leash review is really asking one question: does the cord hold up and stay light, and this leash answers that with a thinner competition cord and the same biodegradable material story that runs through Dakine's Imua line.
What it is built from
- 3/16 in (5mm) biodegradable friendly cord
- Opti-Flex leash ends for maximum durability
- 1.5 in (40mm) Friendly-Prene ankle cuff with recycled polyester webbing
- 1 in (25mm) recycled polyester detachable railsaver
- Posi-Lock hook and loop closure
- 100% marine grade stainless steel swivels
- Recycled polyester leash string
- Material blend: 60% TPU, 15% Polypropylene, 10% Neoprene, 10% Nylon, 5% Stainless
- Rated for up to shoulder high surf
Who this leash is for
This is the leash for a surfer who spends more time in smaller, punchy South Florida swell than double overhead barrels. The 5mm comp cord is intentionally lighter than a thicker cord, so it is happiest up to shoulder high surf where you want less drag through cutbacks and airs rather than maximum strength for heavy waves.
Wearing and caring for it
The Friendly-Prene ankle cuff closes with a Posi-Lock hook and loop strap, so cinch it snug enough that it will not spin around your ankle but not so tight it cuts off circulation. The detachable railsaver keeps the cord from sawing into your board's tail, so leave it attached and rinse the whole leash in fresh water after every saltwater session to keep the stainless steel swivels turning freely. Because the cord and ankle cuff are built from urethane and neoprene designed to biodegrade in a biologically active landfill, retire a worn leash through proper disposal rather than letting it sit in the sun indefinitely.
About Dakine
