Only Quick-Release Leashes Are Safe To Use On Rivers.
- You must inspect your release mechanism and practice with it and test it to ensure it is continuing to function as inspected. Worn out shackles should be replaced - please see below!
A leash can keep you safer on the river IF YOU USE IT PROPERLY
• NEVER use an ankle leash on moving water
• KNOW where your leash and shackle are at all times
• SOME PFDs may not have a safe place to attach your leash - then DON'T USE a leash
• PULL EARLY if you see you could get ensnared
• PULL DIRECTION is crucial for release

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 To qualify for a replacement, please fill out this form and share a photo of your outdated or otherwise deteriorated shackle.

I’ve added this fin on the 8’6” atcha and have been running the needles with it. The fin dramatically increased control and tracking.
Incredible improvement in straight-line smooth water tracking for my Fame. Keep in mind though that there is a trade-off. Tracks better in smooth water but understandable turns harder in white water. Makes eddy turns and fast line up moves more difficult. I'd recommend getting this with a whole new fin box so you can fish a lake on Saturday, and blast a river on Sunday with the perfect board for both.
A great fin for any river. Sure, it works great for high volume rivers but is also a great choice if you need a more “sticky” back end. I like it for executing peel outs and pivot turns in slower moving water and does a lot to offset the loss of tracking associated with the 1.5” low-pro fins. An excellent surf fin as well.
This fin really improves the tracking of the older Hala's with the 4.5inch fin. My only critique is in heavy lateral waves, this fin makes the board harder to ride if you don't come in with some speed.
Keeps my board tracking well in white water and folds in when its in the way.
