Hey everybody. Central Oregon coast surfer here, where the the swells and currents can get big against a rocky headland. Recently, after being pummeled by waves for a good hour and a half, the nylon string attaching leash and surfboard came undone/broke. I was trapped between the incoming waves and rip current coming off the headland, and my board was swept away were it quickly smashed into the headland and damaged the nose. Needless to say I want to prevent this from happening again, I had the idea of using a stainless steel cable loop that I can thread through the board and then thread the Velcro through both loops. No knots, no breaking cord. My only concern is that it is not elastic enough and could pop out the pin in the surfboard on a big wave. Thoughts? Thank you
