I've been getting a lot of time sup'ing my local spots with usually 2 sessions a day.
Ive snapped 2 leg ropes of late, last week, prob 6mths old ?, both heavy duty, one a Dakine the other Ocean and Earth. (Both well made?)When I'm short board surfing is pretty rare, unless your getting away with a light weight one on a bigger day, or it's 2 yrs old etc.
I know a wave sup, is still big a board, 8'5" infinity Blurr.
I don't fight the leg rope on a wipe out, or being washed by a set, as the board catches a lot of water force. I also go out in over head days and punchy beach breaks.

Is it just par for the course ?, big sup catching all that wave energy or any recommendations from anyone that sup's surfs decent waves and can recommend suitable leggies ?
Im not blaming the above leg ropes, should I just change 6mthly and consider it a cost of business. I do the same with my windsurf uni joints and ropes, as it saves losing gear / big swims or being unnecessary shark during the east coast whale season.
