I just want to write down this little post about the XM Tangle-free leash.
I bought it online after seeing the ad on some mags.
As I always have problems with the leash, I thought this one could have been the solution.
In fact they sell you the idea that the little yellow thing will sink in the water keeping your legs free of the cord.
But this is not the case: the yellow thing doesn't sink at all and mostly ends up sitting at the end of the cord, doing exactly nothing to solve the problem. Yes it may adds a bit of drag while paddling, but wtf, when you paddle the leash is always behind you and it's not then that you have problems. Troubles start when you sit down and wait, and turn the board, and paddle, and turn the board, and sit, and turn, and sit and so on..

I'm the king of tangled legs, and this leash doesn't make any difference at all. At all.
Meanwhile the only thing that helped a bit is to free the leash when I don't use the board and keep it nice and loose on a hook in the garage.

Review veloce sul fantastico XM tangle-free leash!
Ho comprato questo leash gabbato dalla pubblicita' (questa) che ti fa credere che il pesetto che sta lungo la corda affondi in acqua tenendo le tue ganbe libere dall'annodarsi.
Ma la pubblicita' non rispecchia la realta'.
Mentre remi il pesetto fa un poco di resistenza e tiene il leash indietro, ma certamente non e' quello il momento in cui e' richiesto il suo aiuto.
Quando si sta fermi in attesa, il pesetto - leggerissimo- non affonda realmente e quindi non allontana il leash dalle tue gambe. Inoltre le dinamiche di Poseidone fanno si che il cosino giallo finisca immancabilmente alla tua caviglia o all'altra estremita', vanificando ogni possibilita' di aiuto anche casuale.
Insomma, non ho notato nessuna differenza dal precedente e continuo ad annodarmi le gambe come un salame.
L'unica cosa che aiuta a risolvere/diminuire il problema e' appendere il leash ad un gancio tra una surfata e l'altra, dimodoche' riposi senza pieghe/curve non gradite.
Insomma questo leash e' una fregatura.
