Entrapment or entanglement with a leash is a hazard of whitewater stand-up paddleboarding; if you're going to wear a leash, be sure it's a releaseable system like the BigFish ReLeash. This patent-pending safety leash system addresses potential hazards of using a board leash when you're on the river. It attaches to your board like any other leash, but instead of including an ankle collar at the other end, it features a 'quickdraw' composed of a three-inch carabiner attached to a snap shakle by a length of webbing. If you should find yourself in a situation where you don't want to be attached to a madly bouncing, ten-foot, 50-pound anchor, a canopy ball on the shackle allows you to quickly and easily release your board. Your SUP may go bouncing down the rapids without you but ... that's the whole idea. And when you're on flatwater, you'll find it as comfortable and low-profile as any leash.
