a leash for a surfboard that attaches to your ankle
A leg rope is a cord used by surfers to attach their surfboard to their leg. It is usually tied around the ankle or calf and keeps the surfboard close by if the surfer falls off. The leg rope helps prevent the board from drifting away, making it easier for the surfer to catch it again. It is an important safety tool in surfing, especially in rough waters or strong currents.
