L22711 SURF LEASH REGULAR 5FT 5MM

Product Overview

The length is aimed at shortboards from about 5 ft 8 to 6 ft 0, the size a shop sells most often to surfers who already know how to paddle out. As a small wave surf leash, the design is about control rather than bulk. A thinner cord keeps drag and swing weight down, so the board stays close through the whitewater and the leash stays out of the way while you are working the face. It is not the model to put on a longboard or a heavy day — that is a job for the longer, thicker cords in the range. Most of these leave the shop as part of a set. A store hangs it beside the 5 ft 8 – 6 ft 0 wall so the board and the leash go out together; a surf school fits it to a shortboard fleet and keeps every board on the same hardware; a distributor carries it as the standard short length in its wholesale surf leash orders and reorders against board sales. Every unit is a surfboard leash built the same way, with the same fittings and the same feel in the hand. As a surf leash manufacturer we hold that build across the regular line, so moving between the 5 ft and the 8 ft does not mean changing the fittings or re-learning how the leash behaves.

Key Features

• Double-padded neoprene cuff — the padding is doubled where the cuff sits against the ankle, so the strap stays comfortable through a long session and does not bite when the leash comes under load. - Streamlined rail saver — a low-profile moulded saver sits flat against the rail and spreads the pull over a wider area, which is what stops a surfboard leash from sawing into the board's edge. - Small-wave proportions — as a 5ft surf leash, the 5 mm cord keeps drag and swing weight low on the days when the board is close and quick direction changes matter more than a heavy cord.

Materials & Build

A 5 mm surf leash is only as good as its cord, so that is where most of the material goes. The composition is 60% TPU, 15% polypropylene, 10% neoprene, 10% nylon and 5% stainless steel, and the split shows what is doing the work: TPU forms the cord, neoprene is the padding in the cuff, and stainless steel sits in the swivels.

The TPU share gives the leash its character — a cord that stretches under load and recovers, rather than one that stretches once and stays stretched. Neoprene is double-padded at the cuff so the ankle meets a soft surface instead of a flat strap, and the polypropylene and nylon make up the webbing and stitched sections that hold the assembly together. As a custom surf leash supplier we keep those proportions the same from run to run, because a shop reordering in six months should get the same feel it sold the first time.

Weight is deliberately kept down. A 5 mm cord on a 5 ft length is a light combination, and on a small day that is the point: the rider feels the board, not the leash. The fittings are 316 stainless rather than plated so the swivels keep turning after repeated saltwater use — provided the leash is rinsed and dried between sessions.

Dimensions & Fit

Care & Maintenance

1. Rinse the whole surfboard leash in fresh water after every saltwater session — cord, cuff and both swivels — then shake it out and let it dry flat in the shade.
2. Check that the swivels turn freely before the board goes out. A swivel that has stiffened puts twist straight into the cord, and twisted cord is what shortens a leash's working life.
3. Look at the cord where it meets the moulded connectors and where it passes through the rail saver. Those two points show wear first, and a cord that has thinned there should be replaced rather than nursed.
4. Keep the leash out of long, direct sun when it is not in the water. Heat and UV are harder on TPU and neoprene than salt water is.
5. Store it loosely coiled or hanging, not wrapped tight around a board for weeks — a cord held stretched loses the snap-back that keeps it doing its job.
6. In a rental or school setup, rinse and dry each leash between issues and give it the same quick swivel and cord check at the desk. It takes seconds and it saves boards.

Ordering & Delivery

1. Tell us the lengths, cord diameters and cuff styles your range needs — whether a 5 mm surf leash or a heavier cord suits each board size — and we will build to that mix rather than shipping one length in bulk.
2. Confirm the cuff and cord finish against a sample before the run starts, especially if the leash is going on a display wall where it has to sit next to a particular board range.
3. If your own branding is going on the sleeve or header card, send the artwork with the order. We handle that work as a custom surf leash supplier and will confirm what the artwork and packing requirements mean for your quantities.
4. As a surf leash manufacturer we confirm quantity, price, packing and shipment date in writing once the specification is fixed, so there is one record of what was agreed.
5. For a wholesale surf leash order, ask your sales contact for the current order quantities, delivery schedules and payment terms. These are agreed per order and per market rather than published as a fixed list.
6. - Leash range — the regular line runs from this 5 ft model up to 6 ft, 7 ft and 8 ft in 5 mm, 6 mm and 7 mm cords, plus non-slip and Hypalon cuff versions, so a school or shop can fit every board it owns from a single line. - Fins — honeycomb fins in single-tab and double-tab bases, with timber, G10 glass and nylon options, matched to the fin boxes on the boards you stock. - Traction — tail pads, centre pads and waxless pads that sit on the same shelf as the leash and turn a single board sale into a three-part sale. - Covers — basic bags, regular bags and stretch covers for boards going into storage, transit or the back of a school van. - Racks — travel rax and tie-downs, storage racks, display racks and bike racks for shops and rental desks that need boards off the floor and where customers can see them. - Own branding — if your mark needs to appear on the sleeve band or the header card, we work as a custom surf leash supplier and will go through artwork and quantities with your team. - Built around your board order — because the hardware comes out of the same production, a wholesale surf leash order can be planned alongside fins, pads, covers and racks for the boards you are already buying.

Scale & Supply Capability

CIMI is a factory-based supplier with 16 years in surf and watersports hardgoods, manufacturing at our own facility rather than sourcing through traders. Chain stores, supermarkets and surf-brand stores buy from us because one supplier covers a full accessory assortment, so a season's order and its reorders can be planned together. We take on OEM and private-label work, adapting designs, colourways and branding to your programme, and we schedule production against your agreed range plan. Send us your buy list and target dates, and we will confirm what we can make and when.
