[02]Why we built it
The most safety-critical component in surfing is the least trusted and least engineered.
Leashes are treated as cheap, disposable accessories. We looked at why, part by part.
-
Outdated technology
Surf leashes rely on design principles that are more than 30 years old, with little innovation in materials or construction. All leashes are more or less the same.
-
Structural weak points
Standard leashes frequently fail at the cord, the swivel and the attachments.
-
Short lifespan
UV, salt, cuts and corrosion wear them down, so they need replacing again and again.
-
Failure is normalized
Surfers expect their leash to break. It is sold as a low-value throwaway accessory, built on outdated technology and accepted failure.
-
The performance trade-off
Bigger boards and heavier waves call for thicker cords of 5 to 9 mm to avoid breakage. Thicker means more drag and more weight.
-
Recurring cost & waste
Typical leashes are one-piece products: if any part fails, the whole leash is replaced. That adds cost and unnecessary waste.
Our answer
From disposable accessory to a safety system.
We analysed the whole connection between surfer and board and re-engineered every structural weak point, together with BASF partners, the University of Hamburg and a German rope maker.
