Abstract
A leash including a cord to attach a surfer to his surfboard. The cord is retractable by spring action into a housing so as to eliminate slack or excess cord length and thereby reduce both the potential for tangling and drag through the water. The housing is detachably connected to the surfboard at the existing crossbar which is typically embedded therewithin.
