- US$ 15
When paddling in open water there are moments when holding onto your paddle is cumbersome, difficult or impossible. With the Mocke Wrist Paddle Leash you can simply let go, free up both hands, and then grab the paddle as soon as you are ready to paddle again.
For example, in the event of a capsize, when one needs to remount in deep water, it helps not having to worry about losing your paddle should you let go while climbing back into the seat. Or, should you need both your hands to retrieve something from your lifejacket, make adjustments in and around the cockpit or work on a fellow paddlers' boat rafted next to you, you can briefly let go and focus on the task at hand. Finally, you can rest secure that your paddle stays in your hands during moments when the wind and sea be become so violent that you fear your paddle will be ripped from them.
FEATURES:
- Easy slip on wrist attachment
- Velcro adjustment for a secure fit
- Neoprene padded surface for comfort
- Lightweight & short paddle shaft coil
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
- Attach the leash to the shaft using the smaller velcro fold-over loop.
- The fold-over loop can be inside or outside of your hand grip. Most paddlers prefer it attaching to the outside.
- For right-hand feathered paddles attach the wrist paddle leash to the left hand side.
- For left-hand feathered paddles attach the wrist paddle leash to the right hand side.
- Slip your hand through the padded wrist strap, grab the shaft and use the other hand to tighten and fit. Not too tight, not too loose; just right.
- Practice carrying and maneuvering your ski on land while leashed to your paddle.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Always inspect your Wrist Leash before paddling.
- After regular contact with salt water wash in soapy water, rinse with fresh water and hang up to dry out of direct sunlight.

Great product! The MOCKE wrist leash is sturdy, well constructed, thoughtfully designed, and barely noticeable when paddling.
I am a Kayak/Surfski sprint Coach. I recently purchased these wrist leashes (in bulk) for our athletes to use while training in the Ocean. The wrist leash is an absolute safety necessity, especially when training our kids in the ocean. I coach in Hawaii, we recently had an athlete, from a different school, but in our interscholastic racing association (15 year old boy) get separated from his group and coaches...and ended up spending 10 HOURS in the ocean.....overnight (6pm-4am)......before Search and Rescue eventually found him, well offshore, clinging to his ski. While all of our schools require athletes to wear a calf/ankle leash, we have never required them to use paddle leashes. The boy was found at 4am, with his ski, still connected to it with his calf leash. He was able to remount, but had lost his paddle due to sea/high-wind conditions. If the boy had been tethered to his paddle also, he could have remounted his ski, with paddle and returned to shore. Anyone can have a challenging time on the ocean on any particular day, one of the difficulties new paddlers have is "paddle management" when remounting their ski, especially in rough conditions. This leash is a lifesaving piece of kit. I recommend the wrist leashes for anyone, but especially for youth ski coaches training in the ocean.
The staff at MOCKE are excellent, your order is quickly processed and on it's way in a matter of days. Highly recommend MOCKE!
