PADDLING TIPS
Tips for making the most of your time on the water.
Risk Management
Risk management is crucial to ensuring you're prepared for being on the water and able to mitigate potential risks.
PFD
Always wear a correctly fitted PFD (life jacket) when on the water. The boat will stay afloat so keep it on your body and not in the boat.
Float Plan
Let others know your paddle plan, including what to do if you do not return on schedule.
Whistle
Keep a whistle on your PFD for communication purposes. Usually, a good idea to keep your phone on you in a waterproof container.
Dress for the Water
While your plan might be to stay out of the water it is good to dress for the water. Avoid cotton clothing like t-shirts and jeans as they retain water. Synthetic laters are best.
