I gave them up many years ago and switched back to ankle, but recently I needed a new rope in a hurry and could only get the length I wanted in calf (against my better judgement I had to get a Creatures, I'm strictly a Balin or O&E guy usually) so I thought, what the heck, they can't be that bad, I used them for a long time.

I soon remembered why I did not like them, as I pop up, the rope sometimes flicks forward between your feet and you end up either standing on it, or sometimes even have it caught between your toes.

Then I remembered that you need to have them positioned so that they stick out 90 degrees from the side of your calf, rather than trail behind you.

Once I did that, the tangles subsided dramatically, but then the other problem came up, as you paddle to adjust your position, while you're sitting on the board, you're constantly hitting it with your hand, I admit that's not a life threatening situation, just annoying.

Am I being just a bit too precious, or do others dislike them? I'm too much of a tight arse to buy another rope before the 12 months is up.

I only use ankle ...and have no probs ..but I have noticed indentations in front of side fin near the rail caused by the leggie connection joint when going from sitting to paddling ...this is on a Mctav fireball which is lightly glassed ..never had this problem on the Evo etc

Yes a bit precious I think! Stick with it, I only use calf leashes and have no problems at all.

I just bought a calf rope to go with my Pieter noserider. I must say that it is not very comfortable and it needs to be on tight or it slips down my leg on a big wave wipe out. Anyway at least you can use them on your ankle if required.

Same here,I just bought one to for the 10 footer(creatures),the first one I've ever bought only worn it twice,It felt ok to wear but it did get under my foot a couple of times.Yep you're right Ob,it's a bit annoying!...

Was waiting for that. Lol

I prefer a calf. When walking around it doesn't seem to get in the way. If I put it on my ankle now it just feels wrong. Do you ever find if you have it on your ankle that you end up sitting on the leg rope if you go from in the water then straight to sitting on the board.

Okay, that's it, no more cow bommie for you on the next trip

You can have the Chianti I bring

I love the bommie.

That reminds me, lets try to do a BBQ on the next trip, there's a good butcher across the road and the Facilities are always kept spotless up there.

I'll try to bring up a few BBQ tools.

use a ball sack leash.
You will never wipeout again.

Obct are you in on this trip?

90% certain, I've even commenced an intensive training schedule in the lead up
I'm already up to 12 schooners a night plus a half a gallon of rough red, just before bed. I know that does not sound like it will be anywhere near enough to match it with you guys, but I'm sure I can improve a lot before the trip.

I'll be adding a full bottle of brandavino to the mix this weekend

Riding 10'6 and 11 foot barges a calf leash feels a bit more secure as well.
