She'll be right...until it's not!
Summer is here and the holidays are coming! This means bucket-loads of time hanging out, in and around our fresh and salt water hot spots all around the Motu. Waterways are busy, much like the State Highway traffic at this time of the year! It's time to get on the water to have FUN - but be SAFE.
Paddlers (and any water users) in our opinion, should always be prepared for the worst case scenario, just incase it does happen! And one of the key pieces of safety equipment you need when paddling is a buoyancy aid.
Leash It or Lose It
Leashes! We go on about them a bit but that's only cause they're SO important. Such a crucial piece of your safety kit, possibly even THE most crucial.
Having a leash is essential, but also the right type of leash for the job is just as important. Use the wrong leash and it could end up being detrimental to your safety.
The type of leash you use will depend highly on the environment that you will be paddling in and what kind of paddling you're up too.
Common Rookie Mistakes
Paddle boarding is an all inclusive sport, anyone can do it. It can be challenging, fun, funny, exciting and relaxing, all in one paddle too!
We love seeing more people getting into paddle boarding and think it's bloody terrific seeing all sorts experiencing the Moana.
Once you've bought yourself a board, it's relatively easy to get out there and start exploring your local waters, with little or no experience. Here's where this pearl of wisdom below comes in.
