Which paddle leash should I buy? I had one of these cheap ones from Campmor http://www.campmor.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=226&prrfnbr=10343 and the plastic fastener that held the bungie cord to the Velcro broke in one season.

Hi Bob, Matt Broze once made a very simple (and cheap) paddle leash for me, and I've used this type of leash ever since (I make them myself)... BTW - thanks Matt! Your interest in helping me find a reasonable solution, without feeling the need to sell me a more expensive (and less useful) leash has always been greatly appreciated. It's just a bungie - one end tied to the paddle shaft, and the other end has a plastic (or nylon?) one-piece clip - in any case, it's very durable (there's a hole in the base of the clip through which you put the bungie and tie a knot). When not in use, I wrap it around the shaft, and attach the clip to one of the other loops of the leash. When I need it, I just unwind it and clip it to a deck bungie. This has passed the the test of many big shore break thrashings while playing in surf. The leash stays on my paddle at all times - ready to deploy any time it's needed. Each paddle has it's own permanent leash. Total cost of this wonderful leash system is about $2.50 each.
