    If you're getting annoyed buy your leash
    Well here's just a quick tip:
    I bought a SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) leash that I modified for my bodyboard, I wanted the extra length because the board kept pulling in the paddle with the tiny leash I was using. I'm primarily a surfer, but my shoulders have taken a few injuries lately. So paddling with "just arms" can "bring the fire" when I'm surfing. It sucks! So when I can't surf (I hate sitting back and watching others in the water) I bodyboard because I can alternate between two front, two back or all four in the Sprint for the wave.
    Anyhow....
    The coiled SUP leash doesn't pull, and the swivel up on my bicep is long enough that it pushes the leash out of the way with each stroke, but doesn't affect the board at all. Honestly, it's the best thing I ever bought and modified. It tucks under my arm and back. So in the paddle, with the swivel on the right angle... it's like you're not wearing a leash at all.
    Honestly, do it!

    I had a board made by Jimmy Linville (J.L. Designs) out of Oceanside California. I asked him what's the best fins to buy. He said the ones that fit your feet the best. I have 3 pair of Yuccas they have the best drainage and fit me fairly well. I have Da Fin. feel great on my feet and work well however I had to cut additional holes because the drainage system isn't great for those shore breaks. I found myself taking off my fins to get the sand and rock out. I also have a pair of Tribe T2 and Tech 2.
