<< The demonstration that I watched was controlled. Small flat water pond with an expert paddler (Cindy Cole) within ten feet, water temp low 70's, water depth about 6 feet, thirty people on shore within thirty feet. Negligence in what way? >> What kind of message are you sending to beginning paddlers who watch the expert in the water without a pfd? They don't care that it's a small pond with people standing nearby to help. All they see is that this expert paddler dosen't wear a pfd, so perhaps pfd's are only for beginners. And since they don't want to look like a beginner themselves, they won't wear one either! I understand Maliqiaq was over here to race. Did he wear one for that?
