A great reminder from Hydrus Board Tech

As we're in one of the biggest paddle weekends of the summer, I wanted to reach out personally with an important reminder.

Wearing a leash on your paddleboard is usually the right move, but not always.

In moving water like rivers, creeks, or strong currents, a standard ankle leash can become a serious danger. If it snags on a rock, branch, or underwater obstacle, it can trap you, fast. Sadly, there have been multiple drownings over the past few years because of this exact scenario.

If you're paddling in moving water this weekend, please:
Wear a PFD (not just have it nearby)

Never use an ankle leash in current

Use a waist-mounted quick-release leash if you need one
