“The Leash Ruined Surfing”

I keep seeing a bumper sticker (at Beacons no less) with that phrase on it and always makes me think of a world with no leashes?a happy, peaceful world filled with surfers that can swim, bodysurf, and fix dings.

Top 10 Reasons To Ban Leashes:

A packed lineup at Swamis (or anywhere for that matter) is instantly cleared after a freak set separates the clowns from those who can duckdive.

Taking off in front of a jetty creates a whole new pecking order?lose your board, pay the price.

While the leash plug industry dies, the ding repair industry would experience a boom.

Boards look really cool without a leash plug.

After swimming after our boards so much, we?d all start to look like Michael Phelps.

Kooks on longboards and SUPs would think twice about surfing a spot more geared toward shortboards.

Everyone would surf better if there were repercussions to falling.

Wax technology would rival that of NASA.

You?d never have your leash wrap around your feet leaving you to untangle yourself mid-face.
There would be les surfers in the water.

Ban the leash!
