PFD’s

[Stonedfish]

A PFD doesn’t guarantee you’ll survive but it gives you a fighting chance. I see lots of folks on SUPs, in kayaks etc out on the sound year round not wearing a pfd. That is their prerogative of course. Sad event and shit happens fast. Stay safe folks.

If I'm in a kayak in the salt I always have a PFD on no matter what. If I'm alone on the sound in a kayak I also wear my drysuit. There are plenty of comfortable PFDs so theres no good excuse, the drysuit sucks to wear but that water is cold.

If I'm floating, I'm wearing a PFD, including when I used float tubes. 1 catastrophic bladder failure enlightened me.

Floated a section of the Salmon a bit ago and it was too hot to wear a PFD. Did anyway!
