If you spend much of your free time paddling, you know safety is paramount. When you’re on the water, a few fundamentals apply to every paddler, no matter where you are are how experienced you are.
The best practices are also the most simple: Wear a personal flotation device (PFD), don the proper outerwear for the water temperature, never paddle alone or impaired, and always check the weather forecast before you launch. These safety pillars ensure your paddling experience doesn’t end in frustration, injury, or even tragedy.
But are you even aware of them? We want to know your general attitude and approach to paddling safety.
