Visit product page →A leash is one of the most essential safety accessories for open water paddling. That is why we developed the MOCKE Life Line Calf Leash with very deliberate features and specifications for open water paddling, downwind as well as leisure paddling.
The Mocke Life Line Calf Leash is a one-piece leash designed with a unique quick rip release and attach system.
By strategically placing a prominent pull tab next to the swivel attachment you can be sure to easily release or attach the calf strap.
Made from 8mm, coiled polyurethane, and boasting a double-swivel system, this leash highly durable ready for any situation.
Features:
- Specifically designed calf strap keeps swivel point and release tab front and centre
- Prominent, easy to locate Rip Release Tab
- Double swivel design prevents twisting and tangling
- 2 Metre length, 8mm high stretch polyurethane
- Coiled polyurethane for compactness
- High density, cross-weaved webbing
- Extra strong construction to ensure ultimate reliability
- Velcro and string attachment point for multiple versions to attach
Tips:
- Rinse your MOCKE Life Line with fresh water after every use to ensure continued optimal functionality.
- Always inspect your Life Line before paddling.
- Practice attaching and releasing the calf strap before use.
SAFETY WARNING:
- This device is designed as an OPEN WATER TETHER ONLY.
- IT IS NOT DESIGNED to be load or force bearing and will snap under load or force.
- DO NOT USE IT AS A SURFING LEASH IN BREAKING WAVES.
- Train yourself to not lose your craft in the event of capsizing without relying on a leash. That is your primary safety responsibility. Your leash is only a fall-back safety option when capsizing.

Sold outVisit product page →The Mocke Wave Deflector is a piece of equipment that no serious downwind paddler should be without. This simple but very effective tool keeps excess water out of your cockpit by deflecting the flow as it pours over your surfski’s nose and front deck. This is of course an obvious benefit.
The Mocke Wave Deflector is stuck on using duct tape. One sticks the leading edge down onto the deck. One can also use velcro for an easier to “put on and remove” option. Others have gone the permanent route and use epoxy.

Many paddlers like to have things stuck there to make them stronger…or to have an excuse…but mostly, and especially when racing, you want to make sure you can maintain maximum speed.
Any kind of weed, sea grass or plastic packet just won’t help your cause.

Visit product page →DECK PAD CLEANER cleans and refreshes Deck pads and Wetsuits by removing dirt, oil, waxes, grime, blood, grass stains, suntan oil and lotions, urine, slime, sebum, airborne pollution diesel slick, bird droppings, soot and much more.
DPC is an advanced technology which is a non-toxic biodegradable green cleaner and is safe to use in and around the water and will not harm the deck pad, board or wetsuit.
DPC is “Free-rinsing” and will not leave any residue and is water-based and water-activated and works with either fresh or salt water, though fresh water works best.
Instead of attacking the grime like other cleaners it penetrates through it and separates it from the substrate so it can be rinsed away for a fresh and clean surface.
Instructions:
- Wet surface to be cleaned.
- Spray on DPC
- Agitate it with a soft bristled brush for a minute or so to let it work.
- Rinse off while agitating with the brush to help get into all the nooks and crannies.
- DPC is free rinsing so there should be no residue when rinsed off.
- Can be directly sprayed onto the dry pad, agitated and wiped away, but for best results, use water.
