The question I keep posing is, are they therefore safer? Perhaps this is one of those big surf places where PFDs would be a hindrance? No one who posts cool pics like that needs cover, Rob. Steve I really have no idea if they are safer or not without a PFD in the ski world, as that is an activity I've not yet undertaken in a meaningful way. I have my suspicions but would not dare speak owing to my wealth of ignorance on that facet of paddling. The only reason I bring it up is that in paddlesports there are many camps to consider and I believe due consideration to all participants should be applied. I know they have chase boats and so forth, but an awful lot of conditioning paddles go on, I suppose similarly attired, before the event. I know we have ski paddlers on this list, so perhaps they would like to express their views? Cheers, Rob G ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
