Design details

We design bodyboard products to suit 4 levels of experience. This product is intended for experienced users.

- Novices: Up to the navel, no fins, small waves < 50 cm, propulsion by pushing your feet on the ground, then riding the wave to the shore. For a 1st wave-riding experience (bodyboard with grips). - Beginner: Gentle turns in waves up to 1 m, propulsion with fins. A must for learning to bodyboard. - Intermediate: Waves up to 1.50 m, more speed and the beginning of tricks (360°, El Rollo, etc.). - Advanced: All types of waves, command of tricks, even aerial: ARS, 360°, tube...

Intuitive and educational.

To help you catch more waves, we work make all our products as user-friendly and educational as possible. That's why this leash has been designed to suit bodyboarders looking to attach it to their wrist or arm, without thinking twice.

How to use your experienced level bodyboard leash.

This leash attaches to the bodyboard using the leash plug provided or already present on your bodyboard. It can be attached to either the wrist or the arm (biceps). Minimum wrist circumference: 15 cm / Max arm circumference: 35 cm. To attach it to your arm, place the bracelet above the elbow on the side that you prefer. Bending the arm at 90°, tighten the strap with the other hand and secure it with the hook and loop strap.

Suitable for all types of conditions: Intermediate level.

The components chosen for this leash provide good resistance in waves of less than 1.50 m. However, be careful not to put yourself in a dangerous situation due to a broken leash. Always check the condition of your leash before the session and avoid prolonged UV exposure. Systematically rinse it and store it in a dry place in the shade. For waves over 1.50 m, we recommend the 900 leash.

Compact.

The benefit of a spiral leash is that it is compact and does not get in your way during practice. If this leash is stored for too long in a stretched position, the coil will relax and it will no longer be compact. It is therefore recommended to attach the adjustable end to the cord connected to the plug, using it and the rip-tab strap between each session. This will prevent the leash from stretching when not in use. See the illustration photo provided.

Where to install the leash plug on the bodyboard?

To install the plug on a bodyboard, first identify the correct location: Between 10 and 15 cm from the nose of the board and far enough away from any stringers. If the board has 2 stringers, the plug must be central. If the board has a single stringer, the plug must be offset at least 5 cm from the middle of the board, on the right if you wear your leash on the right, or vice versa.

How to install the leash plug?

At the desired location, pierce a hole using a large Phillips screwdriver from below. (If you pierce from the top, you could damage the slick by lifting it off). Insert the 2 parts of the plug one after the other, with the screw at the bottom. Screw it in using a £2/€2 coin until the slick warps slightly.

Safety and behaviour rules for the water - Part 1.

Bodyboarding is a fantastic sport, but one that requires everyone to respect certain basic rules to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all. 1- Ask about and observe the characteristics of the spot: current, rocks, tidal influence, size of the waves and number of people in the water, etc. 2- Don’t overestimate your level, and go for an easier spot if your skills don't match up to the conditions. 3- Use suitable equipment: Leash, fins and board in good condition, suitable wetsuit.

Safety and behaviour rules for the water - Part 2.

4- Respect the rules of right of way on the waves: Right of way goes to the person closest to the peak. 5- Avoid the breaking wave area when moving back up to the peak to avoid cutting another boarder off. 6- Use fins if the water is above your hips. 7- If you’re not using fins, it’s recommended you keep to a supervised area. Lifeguards can tell you where these are. 8- Bodyboard in a group.
