XM BIG WAVE

WHEN RELIABILITY IS MOST CRITICAL.


Big Wave surfers were the last to switch to using leashes, primarily for safety considerations.

You need to be able to dive deeper, get further away from your board, and know it’s not going to break. For our Big Wave leashes, everything’s essentially the same, but beefier.

They’re longer, to dive deep and get away from your board. They’re thicker, to avoid untimely breakage. The ankle strap is stronger because, duh. And the XM Power Clip safety quick release is mandatory.

So when a local big wave surfer popped into the XM | SURF MORE shop a few days before chasing a big Hurricane starting to light up the East Coast. He wanted some fresh leashes with Power Clips, because the slab they were hunting was shallow and he couldn’t afford unnecessary risks.

“I use XM cause they don’t break,” says Rusty, “but sometimes you need to get out of ‘em, too.”

Foot Tangle

I bought this leash thinking a calf leash will help me from getting tangled in it when walking back and forth to the nose of my longboard. This has not been the case. I have actually stepped on the cord of this thing about 1 or 2 waves per session. Tried to give it a chance and did about 4 different days out in the water with it. Going to go back to my normal ankle leash and keep this one as a back up. Note: I do not blame any of this on craftmanship of the product.

Thanks for the feedback Mike. The calf leash definitely makes a difference for most people. The Big Wave model you are using is thicker (for strength) and a little less forgiving. We would recommend stretching out the leash and attaching it to two fixed points out in the sun for a few hours with about a foot of tension on it. This might help add some flexibility. Another option of-course is to try it with a Comp or Regular strength cord which might also help. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do to help.

Leash test

Lots of Velcro makes for strong attachment. Working well so far.

We do our best to make the best leashes for those Big days. Thanks for your feedback Dan.
