How to attach leash to Underground FLX boards?

Hi,

How can I attach a leash to Underground FLX boards?
Is there a "right way" to do that? Maybe a photo?

Thanks.

Best way is, take a little band, make two wholes on it put, put the two wholes together, put the fin screw through it attached at the edge. There you can attache a leash, got it?

I don't know the board but you can use the screws from the fins or the footstrap.
But leashes are dangerous, better keep them of.. so IMO the right way is not to attach a leash unless you really need one.
Don't forget a helmet.

Don't do it and ride without a leash. Their are no area's around Brisbane that require a lease but for Caloundra and even their I would not have one in the surf.

Yes, it is dangerous

Yes, it is dangerous and keep up with a helmet. It is much better attached the leash at the fin screw and not at the footstraps because the board can get pulled under water.
