I too wonder about the necessity of a paddle leash.  I
come from a whitewater background and in that arena
the leash would be considered a major hazard by many.

Is a paddle leash a widely used thing for seakayakers?
 One of the previous posters on another thread implied
that it was some kind of safety breach that someone
wasn't using one.  Any thoughts on when and where to
use/not use a leash?
