I can't resist putting in my two bits on paddle tethers:
I hate them and have never felt the need to use one.

The alternative to a paddle tether is to have an accessible spare
paddle. I don't use a tether on my Greenland paddle, because it would
interfere with my sliding technique. However, I carry a Greenland
storm paddle as a spare on my foredeck, where it is accessible should
I lose my main paddle. Because it is a one-piece paddle, no assembly
is required, and I find it very easy to grab when capsized and roll
up with.
   
Does anyone else on this list who uses a Greenland paddle tether it?
