I also use 3/16" shock cord for my paddle leash. Great stuff. Very light, and it comes in pretty colors. :-) But I use a much shorter piece (3' or so) running from the paddle shaft to a loop around my wrist. (I use a separate boat tether to provide a connection from my body to the boat.) The slack in the leash is wrapped loosly around the paddle when paddling. The slack is necessary so that I can set the paddle down and use my tethered hand without it yanking the paddle about. The wrist loop I use is sized so that if my hand is relaxed (or clenched) it will not pull out of the loop, but if I scrunch up my hand it will slip free. Of course I remove the leash in the surf.
