==Structure== [[File:Bracelet néoprène d'un leash.jpg|thumb|cuff]] [[Modern architecture|Modern]] leg rope consists of four parts [[cuff]], [[swivel]], cord and rail saver.<ref name="surfnation">{{Cite web |title=How to choose a surfboard leash or leg rope |url=https://www.surfnation.com.au/pages/how-to-choose-a-surfboard-leash-or-leg-rope |access-date=2018-06-22 |website=Surf Nation |language=en}}</ref> The cuff comes with a double wrap-around velcro cuff. The swivel allows the cuff to spin and twist without the rope itself twisting or tangling providing less strain on the rope. The cords are typically made from a high-quality polyurethane and typically come in 2 thicknesses. However, the thicker leg ropes has more drag in the water.<ref name="surfnation" /> The rails saver is designed to provide a secured connection to the board and protect the rail when a surfer falls. A leash cup, also known as a "leash plug", is an indentation in the deck of the board close to the tail that contains a small metal bar that a short cord can be girth hitched to for attaching a leash.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}
