Big Wave Leashes
The ultimate top 3 big wave leashes (with quick release pins) as seen in big wave line-ups around the world.
Dakine
PEAHI 12' X 7/16" SURF LEASH W/ CLIP
Hardcore brand from Hawaii has recently upped their game by designing leash so thick it makes your stomach turn. (it’s 7/16” or 11 mm, the thickest leash ever produced for public consumption). Watch the video about the redesign of this leash here.
Stay Covered
.400 XXL Big Wave with Quick Release
Made in California with love. Stay covered has been providing the big wave elite with leashes for years. Stay covered leashes are unique in 3 ways:
All Stay Covered leashes are handmade.
Every leash is coming from their shop in Oceanside, California U.S.A.
Most leashes glue the cord to the ankle strap. Not these guys. All they’re leg-ropes are hand tied, not glued. Big difference.

Fin cuts. Razor-sharp reef. Surfboards flying around. Shark attacks. Rock sandwiches. Surfers are at risk of getting cut open in the water. Although it’s rare, when you do find yourself bleeding out in the line-up, you need to act fast. Real fast.
Special mention:
OMNA Tourniquet Leash
This was the most brilliant leash you will ever find: a big wave leash that packs a tourniquet in its ankle cuff. This will save valuable time when you need it most.
Simple, fast, efficient, affordable. #musthave
UPDATE 2020
The Omna tourniquet big wave leash is no longer in production. However, we managed to snatch up the last marine tourniquets to add to our online store:)
Although no longer part of your leash, this is still a premium tourniquet specifically designed for the ocean and surfing. Toss it in your surf rescue survival kit to bring on a boat, rescue ski, backpack on the beach or car. It’s a whole lot better than a standard tourniquet.

The UNvest by Bluesoup is a big wave surf inflation vest that is worn UNDER your wetsuit for maximum protection. Because of that, it is near impossible to have the vest get ripped off, and the wetsuit provides an additional layer of safety, shielding the vest from being punctured by external objects like sharp bushes, fins, sharp metal corners on boats, garages, hotel room, etc., etc.)
Specs:
2 Co2 cartridges
2 Pull tabs
Blue anodized toggles
Inflation tube for mouth inflation (safe your C02 cartridges)
Dump valve to quickly deflate.
Light, flexible, strong but silky soft material
Design and manufactured in the United Kingdom
Made to order (less co2 emissions because of short delivery lines
