First of all lets get this out of the way... it's a leash loop... i get it. It not's that complicated. But there is a right and wrong way to use them, and there are bad, good, and better ways to make them.

I use a specific knot that fit inside the rail saver extending your leash's life.

After the knot is tied a specialized glue seals it up.

Then i wrap it and shape it in a special rubber coating.

Did i go too far? probably... it's just a leash loop. 

The real advantage is extending the leash life. Then the knot end of my leash goes in the leash's rail saver. This is always the weak point in a leash because the thin nylon leash loops cuts the rail saver up as it moves around. My leash loops will add cushion and disperse pressure on the rail savers nylon cord to extend the life of your leash preventing premature tear outs. There is a general rule to keep the knot out of the rail saver to prevent the velcro splitting. My knot and build is designed to work this way, but in general don't just shove your knot in the rail saver. 

The properly installed leash will have a 1,000lb+ tensile strength. And the knot should last forever. So you're down to UV damage being the reason these wouldn't last forever. To maximize the life we use a USA made 8 strand cord that has a UV resistance sheath. 

I think that's way too much thought put into a leash loop, but that's what leads to bombproof design. These ones should treat you well. So measure the length you'll need (distance from leash plug to top edge of rail) and get yours today. 

Comes in a pair of 2 with about a half inch difference in lengths when looped on the board. This will ensure you have the proper fit for your leash plug location and/or you can use for 2 boards. 

Currently colors are random. Comment in checkout which color you prefer and i'll do my best to match. 

We don't do wetsuits. We do A wetsuit. The goal was to make an attainable high-end suit that serves the PNW surfer.  

Staying this focused on building the one suit we would use 95% of the year allowed us to get specific on the features and materials that best suited us. (pun intended) 

If better ingredients can make better pizza then it can probably do the same for your wetsuits. That's what we're going for anyway. 

Yamamoto Rubber. This stuff is the foundation of a top of the line wet suit. It's a big deal. This material is super stretchy and has one of the silkiest inside liners around but it has a more impressive trick. Yamamoto rubber is 99.7% water impermeable. This ability to allows Yamomoto rubber to stay lighter, be stretchier, and keep you warmer. And that's how it has earned a world-wide reputation for being the best wetsuit rubber ever.

With the worlds best rubber as a foundation we added a couple key features to make our dream suit a bit more durable, and a hair warmer.

Seams: ALL seams are double-blind stitched, glued, then reinforced with our red neoprene taping. This allows for stronger seams and can double the life of the suit. In an effort to consume less, we figured that the more durable these suits can be the fewer you need to buy. This is good for your wallet and the planet.

Insulation: Without faking a breakthrough technology or giving it a magical marketing name we've added a Hexagonal Polyamide Insulation to the chest and back for added core warmth. This combo of insulation and Yamomoto Rubber makes for a 4/3 suit that will outperform your expectations and keep you warm nearly year round. Designed for the 50-65 degree water we get here in the PNW. 

Other Features:

YKK Front Entry zipper with zipper stay snap

Key Pocket located on the lower leg

Open cell neck line. 

Ottoman Reinforced knee pads. 

Subtle branding. (We don't need to brag. We figure you'll do that for us if the suit is everything we set out to make. And it is.)

Sizing: These suits can feel like they run a bit big, and Yamomoto Rubber can break in a bit as you wear it. We suggest buying the snuggest (if that's a word) size you're comfortable putting on. The silky lining, and stretchiness will make this easier than other snug suits you may have worn in the past.

I'm 6' 190lbs, and usually wear a large but found a medium in this material works best. 

This summer we'll have a few demo days if you want to test it out first. Follow us on insta for those announcements. 

This is a big boy floater offering lots of volume for larger riders, and/or smaller waves and a forward, extra-wide wide point for added stability. The duckbill nose keeps some volume upfront for maximum wave catch-ability and straight rails keep the speed up for the mushiest of waves. 

Wave: wakesurfing and or knee to shoulder sized summer ocean waves. 

Rider: approx 175-250lbs. Regular or goofy stance. 

Specs: 5'10" x 22" x 2 3/4"

Foil: Subtle single concave in the nose and belly into a slight double concave in the tail. 

Rails: 80/20 rails in the front 75% of the board. Hard edge in the tail. 

Fins: FCS Twins. Fast and loose feel. Keels keep the board engaged with the water as this high volume board has a bit more "on the water" feel vs an "in the water" feel. 

Construction: closed cell EPS foam and epoxy. 

Glass Schedule: 6/4oz e-glass deck, 6oz e-glass bottom

*this board has been lightly used for about a year as a demo. Price includes a set of new fins, small, tall, or keels, you choose. Local pick up preferred. I will ship but all shipping and insurance fees are the purchaser's expense/risk.

With a message for the sharks the DO NOT EAT board also brings the speed needed for wakesurfing or summer waves up to head-high. 

Wave: wakesurfing and or sub head-high summer ocean waves. 

Rider: approx 100-190lbs. Regular or goofy stance. 

Specs: 5'10" x 21" x 2 1/2"

Foil: Subtle single concave in the nose and belly into a slight double concave in the tail. 

Rails: 80/20 rails in the front 75% of the board. Hard edge in the tail. 

Fins: FCS Twins. Fast and loose feel. Smaller set used for the wakesurfing, large twins work best in the salt. 

Glassing schedule: 6/4oz e-glass deck, 6oz e-glass bottom

*this board has been used for about a year as a demo. No real damage and only a few minor heel dents. Will include a set of new fins, small, tall, or keels, you choose. 

A fin key key chain. I got tired of always diving into cup holders on the boat or digging through my surf bag to find my fin key. So i came up with this clip on clip off style keychain key so i could clip onto my boat keys, my car keys, and my surf bags. I use them all the time. I figured someone else out there might appreciate it as well. 

Features:

• 3/32" stand fin key for FCS/Futures and most other fin screws
• Rubber section to help finger roll a screw faster
• key chain easy clip

5'7" x 21" x 2 1/2" = Liters unknown

Embracing fully the "Imperfect on Purpose" ethos of the brand the Rod Nod is a bit of a middle finger to the perfect finish of all the chin-up prissy boards out there. When it comes to looks this one just doesn't care. Brush painted by hand like the classic hot rodders of old who didn't have any other option there's a ton of nostalgia to enjoy. 

Don't let a sloppy paint job turn you off though. This board has some magic curves underneath it all. Shaped with a bit of a duck bill nose, and our duck-butt tail, this board keeps the width that offers stability, major wave count, and maximum glide in knee to shoulder high waves. Big... HUGE bottom concave and a flat rear rocker in the center makes for some responsive front foot speed when needed and easy glide when locked into a face. 

The upright and fairly straight angled twin-fin set up keeps the speed, stays twisty when you need, while offering a bit of bottom turn bounce back when hard on rail. 

A ripper dripping in retro "use what you got" style. 

This board is not for sale at the moment and is currently serving as a demo board for me.

PS. I will sell demo boards at cost every now and then. If you're interested in one let me know and I'll give ya first chance to buy before it goes up on the site. 

It's not complicated. This leash connects you to that board you love so much when the waves prove to be just a bit too much. It'll save you some swimming, and more importantly prevent injury to others in the water with a board on the loose.

There is no revolutionary technology in our leash, just a ton high performing affordable dependability. 

The chord: 7mm uv resistant clear/black polyurethane shock chord durable enough to last a long time and thin enough to reduce drag in the water. 

The cuff: made of a cozy padded, multiple overlap hook and loop strap with a 360 degree swivel to prevent tangling.

The rail saver: hook and loop board nylon strap that will prevent the chord from causing damage to the rail. It also has a 360 degree swivel to help prevent tangling. 

Sizing: We suggest getting a leash approximately 1' longer than your board but obviously personal preference reigns supreme in this sport. More leash will increase drag and tangles. Less leash may limit your movement to the nose of the board.
