Bungee Paddle Leash - Product Reviews
Return to Bungee Paddle Leash Product Details.
Price: $12.00
Description: Keep your paddle close at hand even after a spill. This 5 foot bungee leash (un-stretched) secures quickly and easily to any eyelet on your kayak. Velcro closure keeps your paddle where you need it. Check out the articles/research tab for fitting instructions.
ACK Review: Drop your paddle and you have to swim to it, you swim to your paddle and you have to them swim back to your kayak. Sound like fun? We don't think so, to solve this dilema we carry a bungee paddle leash that you attach to the paddle and your kayak...drop your paddle, sit back, take a sip of your favorite beverage and then pick up your paddle and go again.

| Review: | This is the best leash Ive bought. Im not sure where I attach it to on the particular kayak I bought it for but I made adjustments. I keep the extra length in the boat and attach to the center of the paddle and it doesnt get wet. | ||

| Review: | Clunky. Water soaked and heavy. Not tight on the paddle. Not near as good as the plastic cord and velcro strips from walmart I made myself. Seems strong. Thats all the positive I have. | ||

| Review: | I was going to make my own paddle leash but for the price I decided to buy this one. I'm so glad I did. Extremely well made and easy to attach to my kayak and paddle. I now have one for both of my kayaks. | ||

| Review: | I couldn't figure out how to attach to my paddle but there is an online instruction for it. Seems to be made really well. | ||

| Review: | Used the ACK website for instructions as how to use this device. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot longer to figure out. Didn't really know I needed such a thing as I have kayaked in Alaska and Brazil without a leash. But it came in the tarpon 100 and so on the kayak it went. Certainly gives one peace of mind not having to be concern about the whereabouts of your paddle at every moment. Works great. Well designed. Would definitely recommend. | ||

| Review: | Luckily, I haven't dropped my paddle in the water yet....yet being the operative word. I fish from my kayak, and I can see how easy it might be especially when distracted with having a big fish on or trying to get my lure unstuck or line untangled. This particular leash seems very well constructed, nice velcro tightener to keep it on the paddle handle right where you put it, with a heavy loop to attach to the kayak. The bungee style makes it as long as needed without being in the way. | ||

| Review: | Glad it came w/ kayak package. I doubt I would have bought this left to my owb devices. Oh sometimes it gets tangled when getting in & out but even if it's 10 o"clock I always know where my paddle is. Quite sturdy & well designed. | ||

| Review: | Pretty Cool Product. Ever heard the expression," you never really miss something until it is gone"? There is nothing worse than losing your paddle in a pressured situation. Now you will never lose it again. Liked it so much, purchase one for my girlfriend's kayak. GET ONE! | ||

| Review: | Very well made and heavy duty. A great price as well. Definately no worries about losing your paddle with this leash. I will say I have a fairly light weight paddle and can feel the extra weight of the leash when it's wet on the paddle. But certainly nothing that's going to cause fatigue. Cheap insurance while you're out on the water. Highly recommended ! | ||

| Reviewer: | Alex | Rating: 3 | Date: 06/20/2011 |
| Review: | Works as it should. Strong, high quality materials. I have 3. Ended up not using them at all. Why? The are a little bulky. No quick release. If they get wet (and they will) will become heavy and gets in your way. That is my problem, they are a little too much for what they are. I bought 2 other from somewhere else for ten bucks that have a quick release on both ends, are a little shorter (but long enough) and are much lighter in weight even after they get wet. I would not recommend then because there are better options. My wife has the same opinion. | ||

| Review: | Well though out design and crafted with exceptional materials. The Velcro closure on the oar end fits my Werner Rio paddle(standard shaft) snugly. The bungee loop has more than enough room to slide over my paddle blades and secures easily to the lash brackets on my boat. Very cool product and I would recommend this to any new/experienced paddler. | ||

| Review: | Purchased 3 paddle leashes as a Christmas present. Living in New Jersey it's still to cold to use but I can see from inspecting the product upon arrival that it is sturdy and will do the job. The kids won't be floating along with a paddle floating in the other direction. After doing a little research before committing to buy, I found that Austin Canoe & Kayak had the most reasonable prices and the shipping was so very fast even with the crowded postal system during the busy holiday season! I added this site to my favorites because I will be shopping again soon. | ||

| Review: | A must-have item for a sea kayak. In the wind you can lose your paddle in a hurry without one. Very sturdy. My one complaint is that it has no quick way to connect to the paddle or boat. Must thread the length through the boat and leash eye, then take the two-piece paddle apart to fasten leash. At least one end (preferably the boat end )should have a quicker attachment. | ||

| Reviewer: | John | Rating: 4 | Date: 11/21/2008 |
| Review: | This leash works fine for me. It is the only one I have used, so I have little basis for comparison. But I looked at several different designs before selecting this one. I wish it had velcro on the boat end. I have to thread it through itself to fasten it to the kayak, then velcro it to the paddle. If there were velcro on both ends, it would be more convenient to hook it up. Warning to fishermen who have not used a leash before: sometimes when I have the rod in my lap and pick up the paddle, the leash will attempt to throw the rod overboard! Guess I need a leash for the rod too. | ||

| Review: | I've had to look around to find these! They are just what I've wanted. We've a leash in the same style. It has performed well over very many years of solo kayak use and still looks new. Any time you want to, just toss the paddle aside or, if walking the boat in shallows just grab the leash/paddle and pull it around. You don't know the conveniences until you've tried. Austin's example is the equal of our discontinued model and VERY reasonably priced. It has a friendly feel in the hand; is easy on the boat and your body. There is real strength in it for whatever it might be called upon to do. Dry it out before putting it away. | ||

| Review: | Great security item for the price. Works as advertised. It was especially helpful when launching my kayak for her maiden voyage in choppy surf at the beach. I didn't have to worry about where the paddle might end up in the waves. | ||

| Review: | Works just fine. I liked the price. I also use it as a kayak leash when launching. | ||

| Review: | Bungee Paddle Leash is a great bang for your buck. You only need to lose your paddle once to appreciate having the leash. It's especially valuable if you paddle alone. I can't think of any reason NOT to have a leash. | ||

| Review: | We are experienced kayakers...but never used a leash before. We bought them so our grandchildren do not loose the paddles when we take them out...They are economical, well made and easy to use. No lost paddles.. | ||

| Review: | Never paddled with a leash before I got this one with the Tarpon 100 package. I use it all the time now without any problems or complaints. | ||

| Review: | Don't waste your money on less expensive leashes - this one is the bomb! I tested it in the Gulf, surfing my Ripper, which I continuously became detatched from - I held onto the paddle, and with the other end of the leash looped through the eyelet on the bow, when I came spluttering up to the surface, my boat was right there, pointing into the next breaker, waiting for me to climb back on. Those waves put a real strain on these bungies, and no probs! | ||

| Review: | I was looking for a leash that looked attractive and wouldn't get tangled in other equipment. This leash meets the need. I was a little concerned about the 6' length, until I realize that's how long it was stretched out. It the relaxed position it is the perfect size. | ||

| Review: | A very well made product. Can't beat the price for the quality you get either. You really don't want to be "up the creek without a paddle". | ||

| Review: | Great product! The materials and workmanship are high quality, and it does the job it's meant to do. The only drawback was trying to figure out how to work the loop that attaches to the paddle. Once I got that figured out, it held the paddle securely. | ||
