The best way to use a leash is to surf like you aren't wearing one. 

Think of it like a seat belt—it's great to have when you need it, but it's better not to need it at all. 

You can get into trouble when you surf as though the leash is the expected result of every wave ridden, the same way you wouldn't drive like the seat belt is the expected result of every lap around the track.

When do you want a leash, this is the one you need: the Re-Leash by SYMPL.
