Inflatable surf mat factory:Difference between paddle board leash and surfing le

Inflatable surf mat buyers asked me a question one day.

Why is the paddle board leash different from the surfing leash?

The former is curly, while the latter is usually straight.

The difference is really interesting.

I wonder if inflatable surf mat users have noticed.

Two Vitra leash models, left surfing rope and right paddle rope, please.

In a short story, the legendary 1971 surfer Jack O'Neill lost his left eye in a surfing accident because the surf rope pulled the board back into his eye. It turned out that the first foot rope invented in 1970 was flexible. After the surfer wipe out, he often pulled the board back violently to form a whipping effect, so the huge impact force blinded Jack's eyes. However, Jack, who lost one eye, was more like a pirate. He simply printed his head in LOGO, which made his product more personalized...

The story is over. Lang people began to realize the harm of excessive elasticity of foot rope. They began to use urethane material to make foot rope. The elasticity of polyurethane was not so big, and it was stronger.

Summary: In the rolling wave area, the surfer often falls into the water in various postures, and the surfboard is usually relatively light. In this case, too flexible footrope will cause whipping effect, which will whip the surfboard back to the surfer like a whip. It's very, very dangerous.

This is the main reason why the coiled footrope is not used in surfing. as the inflatable surf mat manufacturer we share it and wish a happy safe life.
