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. “Making sure our customers – and ourselves and our loved ones, for that matter – stay safe is a big part of our message, our direction, and how we follow through,” Andrew said. Red Paddle Co’s holistic presence is felt far and wide. The Country/Language Selector at redpaddleco.com is 17 countries strong – not bad for a company that started in the UK only 10 years ago. “As a paddleboard is such a considered purchase, talking to experts is very important in aiding the purchase process.”
