rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together. splices are preferred to knotted rope, since while a knot typically reduces the strength by 20–40%, a splice is capable of attaining a rope's full strength. however, splicing usually results in a thickening of the line and, if subsequently removed, leaves a distortion of the rope. most types of splices are used on 3-strand rope, but some can be done on 12-strand or greater single-braided rope, as well as most double braids.

a leg rope or leash is a urethane cord attached to the deck of a surfboard, down near the tail. a leg rope plug enables the leg rope to be attached here using a leg rope string. the other end of the leg rope is secured tightly around the surfer's ankle with a velcro fastening strap covered in neoprene to provide comfort for the user. the purpose of using a leg rope is to keep the surfboard attached to a surfer's ankle at a safe distance. should the surfer fall while riding a wave, the surfboard will not be swept away, thus allowing the surfer to quickly recover his surfboard and return to the take-off zone.
