Leash Safety
Hala Gear has compiled valuable leash safety information here.
Please visit for must-know information, including why you should NEVER use an ankle leash in moving water. Correct leash usage can be the differnce between a good day and your last day.
Never use ankle leashes in moving water. Instead use Quick-release leashes.
Quick-Release Leash
Convertible Quick Release (with ankle conversion option)
Available in 7' and 9', Hala Gear's Convertible Leash does it all! Paddle moving water AND flat water with the same leash. This unique design has two different attachment options.
Option 1: Releasable leash - if you choose a leash for river paddling, you must have at least one easily-reachable (torso-area) mechanism to release it. The sailing shackle and locking carabiner attach to your PFD. The shackle ball system quickly and safely releases you from your board.
Option 2: Ankle Leash - Plan to paddle flat water as well? Convert the system to an ankle leash by attaching the ankle cuff to the same sailing shackle, and the leash is ready for flat water and surf environments.
Features:
- Two Attachment Options
- Coiled body (reduces drag and keeps the leash out of the way)
- Sailing Shackle
- PFD Quick-release
Shorter 7’ leash:
- Better for river-specific
- River Surfing
- Keeps the board closer in moving water
Longer 9’ leash:
- Better for expedition paddling
- Flat water excursions
- Crossover paddlers
SUP Safety Tip: **A leash is an important tool for paddleboarding. However, proper knowledge and correct use are essential to staying safe.
NEVER use an ankle leash on moving water, including rivers and creeks. An ankle leash can hinder your ability to swim effectively and can be difficult to impossible to release, which can be dangerous and even fatal. Decide if a leash is a good fit for your paddling style and safety plan before heading out.
