Dakine Longboard Calf Leash
Dakine Longboard Calf Leash
Shoppers searching for a Dakine calf leash are usually longboarders who want the freedom to cross-step without an ankle cuff getting in the way, and this 10 foot Longboard Calf Leash is built with the attachment cuff secured around the calf instead of the ankle for exactly that reason.
Construction and Materials
- Up to a couple feet overhead intended use
- 1/4 inch (6.5mm) urethane Dura-Cord for maximum strength
- 2 inch (50mm) streamlined molded neoprene calf cuff
- Posi-Lock hook and loop closure
- Hydrophobic webbing material in the cuff and railsaver
- Opti-Flex leash ends for maximum durability
- 100% marine grade stainless steel swivels
- 1.5 inch (40mm) detachable railsaver
- 60% TPU, 15% Polypropylene, 10% Neoprene, 10% Nylon, 5% Stainless steel construction
Best used for longboards up to 10 feet in length, this leash is sized to give plenty of slack for cross-stepping without dragging or tangling around the board's tail.
Who This Leash Is For
Built as a unisex leash for waves up to a couple feet overhead, this is a longboard-specific leash for surfers who prefer the classic hot-dogging style of riding, where footwork and cross-stepping matter more than paddling into bigger surf. The calf cuff placement, rather than an ankle cuff, is what lets a longboarder move freely across the deck.
Wearing and Caring for the Leash
The molded calf cuff is padded with a hydrophobic exterior, meaning it resists soaking up water and drying out slowly, and the Posi-Lock hook and loop closure keeps the cuff secure through a session. Rinse the urethane cord and stainless steel swivels with fresh water after saltwater use, and check the detachable railsaver periodically since it takes the direct wear from rubbing against the tail of the board.
