NEVER use a leash attached to your ankle 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 (and practice using your leash) before heading out.
When used properly, leashes and the quick-release components, including the shackle, will release a paddler from their SUP. However, when pulled the wrong direction or otherwise used incorrectly, the shackle may not release. Use Hala Gear's how-to videos to ensure you know how to use your shackle and quick-release correctly.
We encourage paddlers to practice using their quick-release leashes before each outing. Likewise, it is important to always inspect your gear for wear and tear, damage, or deterioration. Frequent inspection ensures your gear is in good condition and reduces the risk of accidents or malfunctions.
To ensure our customers and paddlers have the most up-to-date, reliable gear, we are offering replacement welded shackles. To qualify for a replacement, please fill out this form and share a photo of your outdated or otherwise deteriorated shackle.
