Hey all,
When you're out https://aguapulse.com/ - paddling in rough waters , what are your go-to safety measures? Whether I'm kayak fishing, paddling, or on a SUP board, I always make sure to assess the water conditions before heading out, but it never hurts to hear what others do to stay safe. Do you guys have specific gear, routines, or tricks that help you feel more secure in unpredictable whitewater? Personally, I’ve found that focusing on proper technique and being prepared with safety gear, like a reliable PFD and a leash for my SUP board, can make a huge difference. But what’s your routine? Let’s swap some tips and experiences! |

Two rubbers before entering the back door is proper technique, don't let anyone convince you otherwise.   ------------- "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Howard Thurman |

Actually rivers are extremely predicable depending on levels. White water kayakers just put on the same gear no matter what they are doing, unless steep creeking then you put on some armor... ------------- Nomad |
