>Isn't requiring me to wear my pfd in order to paddle with you right >along the same lines as the French stomping on my rights? If you're not going to cause me any undue harm in not wearing your PFD, I could care less. If we were to go paddling tomorrow, I would want to see you perform a self-rescue without your PFD in rough water. If you had no problems, I wouldn't give it another thought. If you were going on a club trip with me tomorrow, I would insist that you wear one as a role model. Just because you're a skilled paddler doesn't mean that a person emulating you by not wearing a PFD is as skilled. If you always paddle solo or with trusted (and skilled) companions, then who cares?
