Should I get a 6ft or 9ft leash?

Match it to your board: 6ft for shortboards, 9ft for longboards. See How to Choose a Surf Leash.

What's the difference between ankle and knee cuffs?

The 6ft has an ankle cuff and the 9ft has a knee cuff. On a shortboard you crouch and twist a lot, so an ankle cuff stays out of the way. On a longboard you walk the board, and a cuff below the knee keeps the cord out from under your feet.

How thick is the cord?

Currently 6mm on the 6ft and 7mm on the 9ft. Both are rated for 2–8 ft surf.

Which foot does the leash go on?

Your back foot. Regular (left foot forward) wears it on the right; goofy wears it on the left. Step by step: How to Attach and Wear a Surf Leash.

How do I care for my leash?

Rinse it in fresh water after every surf and coil it loosely along its natural curve. Don't wrap it tight around the tail, drag it on the ground, or leave it in the sun.

Will the colours look exactly like the photos?

Close, but screens vary. Print tolerance is kept within ±10%.
