Step up your game with the next-generation POD 7ft Surfboard Leash, engineered for riders who demand enhanced security for mid-length boards, fun-boards, or when tackling more powerful surf. Now with a lighter build and our new Octo Grip non-slip ankle cuff, this leash provides that crucial extra distance and added peace of mind, allowing you to focus on the wave even when the swell picks up and conditions intensify.
Patented POD Connection: Unyielding Strength and Flex
At its core is the patented POD Connection technology, a testament to our commitment to innovation, durability, and performance. Its unique organic design, meticulously engineered, allows the over-moulded urethane connector to stretch in unison with the extruded urethane cord. This enables both components to extend an incredible six times their original length. This revolutionary stretch absorbs massive impact during wipeouts and dramatically reduces recoil, lessening strain on both you and your board. With a tested tensile strength of up to 105 kg, it's the strongest leash connector available worldwide.
Engineered for Next-Level Comfort and Durability
Based on valuable input from surfers, our new 7ft leash is packed with improvements for a superior feel and secure fit:
- Lighter and Stronger Build: We have reduced the weight of the leash to minimise drag, while maintaining the incredible strength of its 7mm urethane cord.
- Redesigned Non-Slip Ankle Cuff with Octo Grip: A significant leap forward from obsolete embossed neoprene, this new ankle cuff features our innovative Octo Grip technology. Inspired by the natural suction power of an octopus's tentacles, the specialised silicone print features numerous circles that vary in size and thickness, providing superior non-slip traction. This design ensures a secure and confident fit on both a wetsuit and bare skin, and the combination of soft fabric and stretch binding delivers a new benchmark for non-irritating comfort and enhanced craftsmanship.
- Stealth Black Aesthetic: In a bold statement of confidence in its construction, the entire leash is a sleek, all-black design. From the urethane cord to the webbing, connectors, and POD badges, every component is unified in Stealth Black, allowing the superior quality to speak for itself.
Enhanced Security Features for Mid-Length and Power Surfing:
- Optimal Board Separation: 7ft length provides ideal distance for mid-length boards and fun boards, reducing board proximity during wipeouts.
- Twist-Free Functionality: Engineered with the POD Connection, our leashes offer 100% stretch without tangling or twisting, ensuring uninterrupted focus in powerful surf.
- Extreme Durability: Built with premium-grade components and tested to withstand 90 kg tensile force for uncompromising reliability in challenging conditions.
- Maximum Flex and Absorption: The urethane cord with 6x stretch significantly reduces recoil and absorbs impact from powerful waves.
- Corrosion-Resistant Swivels: Marine-grade stainless steel swivels are housed in a self-lubricating casing, ensuring consistent, tangle-free performance.
Extend your confidence in every session. The new POD 7ft Surfboard Leash is your essential connection for venturing into bigger waves or managing longer boards. Equip yourself with unyielding strength and Chase It® with newfound security.
