I'm here because my O&E heavy SUP leash is snapped a the same spot. Granted I had it for a while but I don't surf much. Swivel is fine, cord looks new and this happened :( Disappointing. I always thought that this leash was beefy in all components...
Id recommend a Dakine or FCS. Your leashes shouldnt be snapping like that, but it does happen occasionally. Youd be surprised what 4-5ft waves can do to a board and other gear.
Perhaps you where 5 minutes away from a shark attack? Just saying that you dont know what the silver lining could be? But you also said that the leash was used for all of january and that is only one month. I am sure that Ocean earth would warranty that fault in the leash. Also since u asked, yes i have snapped leashes when i did not expect and now I never go to the beach with out two leashes. We never know what happens to the leash from the forces of the ocean day of or days before. Be prepared and check your equipment on the regular. Hope you got sorted and all is positive for you now!
I can't believe the UV would break it down that significantly. You can't take the "Mr. Negativity" title from me! One positive, you now know not to buy that brand of leash.
bought a premium Vessel snapped after 6 weeks couldn't believe it
That sucks to hear :(

Unfortunately Busted Surf Co only stock the O&E range :( I mean I would be happy to hook up a leg rope sponsor... :)
@@GivesAMinute yikes
Gotta hate when the gear lets you down! OCEAN AND UMM!
Yeah, it's super frustrating!! Ocean and UM!!! hahahah
Nice to see the daily vlog & wave a day mix together & sucks when the gear doesn't work like it's supposed to
Yeah man, I love it when they cross over like that!!

Thanks very much mate! I did get a replacement from O&E, they were very cool to deal with :)
@@GivesAMinute yeah thats sick, i would do the same if this was our leash!
Heres a positive: the fish can now surf on it XD
Hahah! I'd like to see that!
U uploaded 2 videos
Yep :)

In 12 months? I also think it's odd that the sun would ruin it that much that quickly. You know what tho, Busted Surf Co only stock O&E brand!! Damn!!
Anyway you can sort of jury rig it until you can get another one from another company?
@@Pete_R63 I have an update pending :)
Color me curious! Yah mon!
How do you upload vids that fast? Second btw!
Hehehe! I have a schedule that I stick to like glue :)
