KEEP IT OUT.
The XM Longneck is a concept perfected by XM | SURF MORE to enable a Longboarder to easily walk the nose and do other maneuvers without stepping on the cord.
The extra extension, which is primarily worn on the calf, holds the cord out at an arc thus keeping it from getting tangled under foot.
A favorite of many competitive Longboarders over the years.
ULTIMATE FREEDOM.
As close to not wearing a leash freedom as you can get.
Do you have those days where you feel like not wearing a leash but know you should? Well… this leash is just what you’re looking for because it's ultra light and thin so you barely feel it, if at all.
Are you a GROM just starting out with a really short board and wish you could have a lighter strap that fits and feels lighter on your ankles? The Ultra Comp strap is designed just for you.
So when you have those smaller wave days feel free to go with the vibe and go XM Ultra Comp.

“Leashes are for dogs.”
Aside from Aussie-isms like Legrope and Leggie, surf slang for leashes also include: Ding String, Surf Strap, Shot Cord, Kook Connector, Kook Cord, Sissy String, Dope Rope, Goon Strap.
That’s what anti-leashers said when the surf leash first appeared in line-ups back in the early ‘70s. Then Bob Nealy at XM | SURF MORE started innovating on that front around 1973 when he founded the company. XM introduced the first velcro strap (among other innovations) and more and more people joined the movement. Leashes made sense. By the mid-70s, most surfers were on-board. And not too long ago a Surfer Magazine poll found that 99% of surfers now wear leashes most of the time.
Comp is short for competition. The XM Comp premium leash is the all-around favorite leash cord strength/thickness for small to medium waves and competitive surfers. It’s on the thinner and lighter side and keeps your short board tethered while still feeling pretty free in the water.

THE VERSATILE CHOICE.
The word “leash” (from the old French “laissier”) means: “to keep under control.”
“The leash was originally designed as a convenience item,” says XM | SURF MORE lead designer Craig. “It’s wasn't initially designed to save lives – though they have many times – but it's there to save you from having to swim or having your craft hurt others.”
Hence our tag line and motto to 'SURF MORE' and spend less time swimming around chasing your board and hoping it doesn't hurt someone along the way.
