SAFETY TIPS •

First check the forecast. Remember that storm and winds can pop up suddenly with little warning. So don’t stray too far from shore.

• Paddle with another adult or group in case an emergency arises. That way, you will have help.

• If children are 5 years old or older, they should use a paddleboarding leash.

• Show your children safe ways to fall off the paddleboard and how to get back on the paddleboard by themselves.
