PULL THE PIN. RELEASE THE CORD.
What kind of hazards are lurking under, around and above the waters at the break you are going to surf next?
Noting a need for an emergency release mechanism in critical situations such as around reefs, jetties, lobster traps, rock bottoms, piers, and "tombstoning" in powerful surf, XM | SURF MORE developed the first patented quick release device that actually separated the strap from the cord.
Earlier designs would bypass the Velcro to open the strap but the surfer could still be stuck in a hog-tied position and unable to detach themselves. The re-usable and patented XM Power Clip (with its ez-grip yellow pull ring) quick release system creates a greater margin of safety. The pin is in, unless you want it out.
