I love that it starts with Usher, and the leash is neatly tied up on the back of the board, not attached to his ankle.  You'd think they could afford a little instruction, wouldn't you?  It takes 4 clicks to get to someone using a leash (Renee Zellweger).

Properly leashed, improperly paddled.

Just because celebrities are very wise with their *ahem* politics, doesn't mean they know a thing about paddle boarding.

Haha, she is using a leash but I would not call it properly leashed, the velcro is not attached right, it looks like it would come off with just a light tug!

That Slater Trout looks like he knows a thing or two about SUP...

Shows how out of it I am. I only knew who few of those people are, and one of them is Slater. Lousy picture of Ireland, she's a lovely woman and surprisingly nice. I know she and Slater are ancient history, but I liked her. You'd think she'd be horrible.

Looks like the  Wailua River in Kauai.  Not surprising that some rental outfit there didn't explain to her the right way to hold the paddle.  Then again, I'm sort of amazed that at this stage so many people don't know on their own.

Surprising number of Kialoa paddles.  Good to see that many are using good brand all carbon paddles, as opposed to heavy old no-name adjustables.  The ones with carbon paddles make me think they may actually be paddlers, rather than getting pictures from a one-time rental.
