    The BEST leash - a chat with Roy Lundstedt feat. Cynbad

    Leashes are not something you write home about - usually. They are in your way, they might be twisted around your feet or you get your Parawing bridals tangled in the coiled part. But if you have a bad fall, you heavily rely on your leash to not loose your board and be safe. In this episode I talked to Roy Lundstedt who is the founder of Kaohi Leash and we talk about the leashes in general and get a little surprise visit from Cynthia Cynbad Brown from Hawaii who helped develop the cover over the coiled part, so that the Parawing lines don't get tangled as much. Thank you so much for taking your time and explaining me what to look for in a leash. https://boardmeetingusa.com is their website, @kaohileash is their Insta Cynthias Insta: @cynthiacynbadbrown Thanks to Jens of the Foilsessions App for supporting the show.
