Paddle Sport Statistics

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a fun and relatively easy water activity, but it's important to stay safe while enjoying it. Here are five safety tips for stand-up paddleboarders:

  1. Wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD): Always wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket or PFD. Even if you're a strong swimmer, unexpected situations can arise, and a PFD can be a lifesaver.

  2. Use a Leash: Attach a leash to your ankle or calf and the board. This keeps you connected to your board, which provides buoyancy and can prevent you from getting separated from it in case of a fall.

  3. Check Weather Conditions: Before heading out, check the weather forecast and water conditions. Avoid paddleboarding in high winds, strong currents, or thunderstorms. It's best to paddle in calm conditions, especially if you're a beginner.

  4. Stay Hydrated and Protect Yourself from the Sun: Bring water with you and stay hydrated. Also, wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays. Long-sleeve rash guards or UV-protective clothing can also be helpful.

  5. Know Your Limits and Plan Your Route: Be aware of your skill level and don't push beyond your limits. Start with shorter trips and gradually increase your distance as you gain confidence and experience. Plan your route, know the area, and inform someone about your plans before heading out.
