we take that responsibility very seriously. Any SUP can make pretty much any stretch of coastline your own personal playground but even pros need to set limits.” “For us, the safety element is also a big one.” And Red Paddle Co helps their customers responsibly set those limits. At redpaddleco.com the complete eight-step SUP Safe: A Simple Guide is available to the general public. The SUP Safe Checklist, which holds to the motto ‘If in doubt, don’t go out,’ looks like this: 1. Always tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Don’t leave the house without a mobile phone or communication device. 2. Check the weather forecast and tide times before you set out – they can change quickly. 3. Avoid offshore winds or dangerous water currents. 4. Always go with a friend. 5. Wear a suitable personal flotation device (PFD). 6. Wear suitable clothing for the time of year. 7. Always wear your leash and hold onto your board if you get into trouble – it will help you float. 8. Inflate your board between 15-22 psi to ensure a stable and stiff board.
