ABSTRACT:
An improved retractable leash is provided for attaching a surfboard to a surfer. The leash consists of an elongated line with a storage unit for the line. Elements are for mounting the storage unit onto the surfboard and to allow the storage unit to rotate three hundred and sixty degrees. A component is for attaching a free end of the line to the surfer. When the surfer falls off the surfboard in any direction, the line will pull out more directly from the storage unit. A structure is for retracting the line into the storage unit, so that the slack of the line is taken up to eliminate long line drag in the water as the surfer rides the surfboard on the waves.
