What is a safer way to wear a SUP leash on moving water?

  1. A leash tied to your ankle.
  2. A leash tied to your knee.
  3. A leash fixed to the board with no release.
  4. A waist-mounted leash with a quick release.
Show answer

Correct answer: A waist-mounted leash with a quick release.

A leash can catch on hazards and pull you under, so you need a quick release you can reach.
