Today was the second time a pro-lite surf leash has ripped on me. They suck. Both times I've shown the ripped leash to a guy at the surf shop, once at Jack's in Newport and today at Huntington Surf and Sport in Huntington Beach, and both times they've said they've never heard of that happening. I'm not sure why they're ripping on me so easily, but I do know pro-lite's design sucks. Its a VERY thin piece of material that bears most of the load when your board gets away from you. Both times they've ripped in this exact same spot. I bought a Creatures of Leisure leash to replace it and it looks really good. About 3x the thickness and a rubber spine right at the ripping point of the other leashes.
