PULL THE PIN. RELEASE THE CORD. IN THE RIVER.
There's something exhilarating surfing a wave in a gushing river with snow all around you in the middle of winter. Or the fresh scent of trees with the beautiful mountain and river scenery while you're catching a wave.
But as with anything, no matter how beautiful, we always find hazardous elements to be careful. For River Surfing getting wrapped around rocks or branches in the river are a real danger.
Noting a need for an emergency release mechanism in critical situations such as around reefs, jetties, lobster traps, rock bottoms, piers, and "tombstoning" in powerful surf, XM | SURF MORE developed the first patented quick release device that actually separated the strap from the cord.
The XM River Surf premium leash is a Knee/Calf leash with our re-usable and patented XM Power Clip (with its ez-grip yellow pull ring) quick release and a Comp strength cord. The pin is in, unless you want it out. That way if things go wrong the surfer can reach their knee/calf easier than their ankle and release the connection. Also, a Comp strength/thickness is more likely to break (over a thicker/stronger cord) in a worst case scenario - which is safer.
Many lives have been saved over the years because the athlete was able to easily find the yellow pull ring, pull the pin, release the cord to get free, and swim to safety!
The all-around favorite leash cord strength/thickness for small to medium waves and competitive surfers. Ultra-Premium XM POWER CORD is manufactured by XM in its USA, California facilities and benefits from over 30 years of XM urethane cord extrusion research and development using XM's proprietary formula, process and equipment.

Did we mention that XM leashes are all made by hand. By real people. Here in America? Hopefully that should even put a little more pep in your cutback. Some of our artisans have been part of the XM | SURF MORE family over 35 years. All this experience, dedication, and love goes into every leash made here in San Clemente, California since 1973. Yep that's almost 50 years of premium high quality dedication and heritage. A legacy of quality and craftsmanship unmatched by anyone in the industry.
