Can I use a surfboard leash with any surfboard?

Yes, you can use a surfboard leash with any surfboard as long as it is equipped with a leash plug, which is a small, sturdy attachment point usually found near the tail of the surfboard. Most modern surfboards come with a leash plug already installed, but if not, it is relatively easy to have one installed by a professional. The leash plug ensures a secure connection between the leash and the board, enhancing safety by preventing your board from drifting away when you fall off. However, it's essential to select a leash appropriate for your board's size and intended use. For example, a longer board may require a longer leash. Make sure to also regularly check your leash for any signs of wear or damage to ensure optimal performance and safety.
