Wear your PFD'S!!!

Many people new to stand up paddling may not know what is required equipment on their local waterways. It's a safe bet that a personal flotation device is needed as well as a whistle. Besides being smart to have in many places if you don't have the required PFD it could lead a fine. I like a waist belt PFD like the Stearns Sospenders. It is light weight and doesn't interfere with paddling.
