A safe session is a fun session. These basics apply to lakes, rivers and coastal paddling alike.
1Check Wind and Forecast
Offshore wind is the classic SUP trap: it pushes you away from shore faster than you can paddle back. Check the forecast, and when in doubt, stay within sheltered water.
2Always Wear the Leash
A coiled leash keeps your board within reach if you fall — the board is your flotation device. Choose a leash matched to your conditions: coiled for flat water, straight for surf.
3PFD and Personal Safety
Wear a buoyancy aid when conditions warrant it, or when regulations require it. Carry a whistle, tell someone your route and return time, and consider a phone in a waterproof pouch.
4Know Your Limits
Build experience in flat water before wind or current. Respect cold water — it saps strength quickly. And never paddle alone in remote or open-water areas without a plan.
