La pagaiata sicura inizia qui
Gli sport acquatici sono per tutti — ma l'acqua esige rispetto. Che tu sia su un SUP, un kayak o un gommone, queste pratiche ti tengono al sicuro.
Before You Go
Check weather & water conditions
Wind above 15 mph, thunderstorms, or cold water temps require extra caution or postponement.
File a float plan
Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. Include launch site, route, and vehicle information.
Inspect your equipment
Check for leaks, secure fin boxes, confirm inflation pressure (12–15 PSI for SUPs), and test valves.
Know your limits
Choose waters matching your skill level. Beginners should start on calm, protected flatwater.
Essential Gear
US Coast Guard-approved life jacket (PFD)
Required by law on vessels. Wearable, not just onboard. Type III is recommended for SUP and kayak.
Leash (SUP)
A coiled leash keeps you connected to your board. Use a quick-release belt leash in moving water.
Whistle or sound device
Required on vessels over 16 ft. Even on SUPs, a whistle attached to your PFD is a simple lifesaver.
Phone in waterproof case
For emergencies. Keep it in a dry bag or waterproof phone pouch attached to your person or board.
On the Water
Stay visible
Bright clothing and a flag or light increase visibility. Kayaks and paddle boards sit low — other boaters may not see you.
Maintain safe distance
Give motorized vessels wide berth. Cross channels quickly and at a right angle. Yield to sailboats and larger craft.
Hydrate & sun protect
Water reflects UV rays. Sunburn and dehydration happen fast on the water. Wear SPF 50+ and bring fresh water.
Know self-rescue techniques
Practice remounting your SUP or kayak in calm water before needing it. Learn the basic re-entry technique.
