The Kaimana surf leash embodies 40+ years of heavy-wave surf innovation. Developed with a highly technical design, the Kaimana delivers supreme comfort, less drag, and unmatched strength - all within an extremely lightweight package. The Kaimana provides a leash-less feel, so whether you’re a world tour champ or you’re paddling out for the first time, you can focus on the ocean and leave everything else behind.
"We wanted to provide a leash that allows the surfer to focus on the wave with no added distraction."Micah Nickens - Dakine Marketing Manager
Innovating on an industry legacy.
Dakine was founded on designing a better surf leash. The Kaimana surf leash builds on this legacy with increased durability, comfort and performance. Borrowing from the physics world, we implemented a unique dimple pattern (similar to a golf ball) on the cord that helps reduce drag without compromising strength. Other key improvements are the lower profile, pre-curved ankle cuff and a narrower rail saver feature. They may seem like small details, but they all add up to make one of the most effective and comfortable leashes with less drag and a zero-distraction fit.
