are those the things that go from the surf board to the surfer's ankle to keep the surf board from getting away from them when they wipe out?

They keep your board from getting away from you when you wipe out. In big waves, they can be your life line to where the surface it when you are getting worked over, sometimes you don't really know which way is up.

You tie your dog to your board. Oh wait maybe it is your ankle to your board.

Securing the board to your ankle so it is easily retrieved and doesn't smack you in the head.
