The North Water Coiled Paddle Leash is our strongest paddle tether. It has a 1.5" wide Velcro wrap that goes around the paddle shaft and a clip that fastens to the bungees in front of your cockpit so if needed you can release it at either end. Like all the paddle leashes we sell it has a coiled line because coiled lines have less stuff to catch on something and cause trouble. But this North Water uses a serious heavy duty coiled line.
