Each day Charlie aims to cover approximately 50 km depending on tide movements and weather conditions. Charlie will be carrying all the supplies and equipement he needs on the paddle board and will be keeping everyone on land updated with regular tweets and status posts, along with a tracker system so you can follow Charlie’s every paddle along the way at Find My Spot

XM Surf & SUP products are proud and happy to support Charlie on his adventures, Charlie is currently using the XM Power Clip Coil Leash, which gives him piece of mind for safety and quality while he is on the water for many hours at a time… XM Leashes

The XM innovations has allowed the surfer, SUP / paddle boarder and body boarder to have full confidence in the leashes they use, but there was a time when…

…leather straps and bungee cords were used as surf leashes, and to even wear a leash was considered uncool. The hard-core surfers called them “kook-cords”! If you fell, you “paid your dues” by swimming to get your board! That was 35 years ago. Surf More Products introduced the first 2″ Velcro™ strap design, for comfort and fit. Since then, leashes have become essential to most recreational and competitive surfers, and Surf More’s original garage operations has grown into a world-wide leader in the surf industry! Meanwhile, Surf More has contributed many significant changes to leash technology, such as:

Swivels to keep the kinks out of the cord
Pull Tabs to make it easier to release the strap
The XM stand-out stem on the strap to help prevent stepping on the cord
The basic bodyboard leash anchor to attach leashes to…
The EZ Fit™ bodyboard leash strap to provide easier entry
A dependable, lightweight Power Clip™ quick release for quick exits!
