Abstract: A paddle clip for securing a paddle to a user and thus allowing the user to free his hands for other tasks. The paddle clip has an elongated back plate and a flexible resilient rounded bottom section with a trough configured to accommodate a cylindrical shaft of a paddle. The shaft of the paddle can be squeezed into the clip with one hand. In addition, using only one hand, the fingers can lift open the clip to release the paddle. A flat front section of the clip has a thumb opening large enough for a thumb or a finger to pass through to press downward and thus release paddle shaft onto the other fingers of the same hand.
