If you touch it, you'll notice that the silicone grip on the cuff fits comfortably around your ankle and stays in place. The highly elastic Velcro is very strong and will not come off unintentionally, but the pull tab made of Hypalon material makes it easy to insert your fingers and apply force, making it easy to remove. The long horn section does not get in the way when taking off and prevents the leash cord from being stepped on. The FCS Essential Leash is designed and constructed to handle all surfing styles and conditions, from small waves to massive swells. Tested and released by top surfers around the world, supported by FCS, it's a sure bet!

Learn moreStudio photos released! Dream collaboration! MR + MAYHEM collaboration! California Twin
The release date is approaching! Born from a collaboration between MR and MAYHEM! LOST "CALIFORNIA TWIN" California Twin model We are releasing high-quality photos taken by a professional photographer using a strobe in a pitch-black studio! Mark Richards, aka MR, and Mayhem from Lost, in one shaping room. Sharing and integrating designs! Collaboratively shaping and completing the friendly TWIN FISH + Tralier board for small waves! The CA Twin is Mark Richards' (MR) most popular new shortboard model. Based on the Super Twin, it's a Twin Fish + Tralier board with the latest single-to-double concave and twin + trailer fins. With Mark's permission, we've given his iconic Super Twin model a modern update, making it incredibly approachable and ready to be your small wave secret weapon. We loosened the entry rocker, widened the nose and tail blocks, and added a few inches to the overall outline to make it wider. These adjustments help it glide even in weaker waves. The deck is flatter for stability, but it still has the soft rails needed for the MR's classic speed performance and its state-of-the-art performance tail rocker. It retains the original Super Twin's precise, true-to-turn specifications. The California Twin is a smooth and easy-going MR design, but thanks to the collaboration with MAYHEM design, it can also handle risqué lips and turns in tight spots. It also features a logo mark and rail color that inherits the classic color theme of the MR design. MARK RICHARDS and MATT BIOLOS have come together to bring you the latest TWIN FISH + Tralier board with some unique tweaks to create the latest MR x MAYHEM fish board. The result is a small wave performance fishboard that combines the classic lines, speed, and precise turns of the MR with the lip-to-air capabilities of the MAYHEM. The special model page will be released soon!
