Paddle leash

Paddle leash

A paddle leash may be used for securing a paddle in open water with a sea kayak. Especially on solo tours after a capsize a paddle might be drifted away through wind or waves and not be recovered. A paddle leash must not be used in whitewater kayaking due to the danger of getting strangled.
