Hey guys you should look in to getting some coiled leashes so you dont get so much drag off those long leggies.. Balin do a good one and i just seen a better one from pro lite. If you go for the balin then try to get the straight part of the leggie shorter as the one they sell of the shelf is a tad to long still for a 14ft board but good for a 17ft board. One more tip is to put the leggie on the leg that stays at the front of the board so when you step back to surf a runner your leg rope does not drag!!

Looked like a good day for a DW

Thanks for the pics

Belly the DC 16' board looks the goods

Hey Belly,

It's really good to see that board in the water again. She really likes it out there and the bigger the better for that one.

I know you will take good care of her. Keep sending us posts of your runs. If you take some video footage we might be able to offer any additional hints on how to get the most out of your new toy. Try get from side on with the main focus on the front half of the board.

Cheers - Mike

You can see how well the Balin half coiled half straight SUP leash works in this vid of Pete on his Naish 14.

The early ones were a bit long but the new ones have 1 meter (40") of straight and it seems just perfect for my 14' and 17' Glides.. and most other boards.
