Re: [Paddlewise] Australian state (even more) severely restricts kayaking

Yes, the gentleman from the OR Marine Board specified a pink bunny, but 
they only come in tan, white, black or grey. If you couple that with a 
fundamentalist attitude that happens in law enforcement it leads to 
ridiculous situations as we experienced and not a floppy ear in sight.

Cheers,

I was talking about the guy who wrote the law. He specified to the 
sheriff what he should be looking for. Unfortunately, what he specified 
doesn't exist. It's rather like a motorcycle helmet law that requires a 
helmet to have a "freeway" sticker if you will be going over 50 MPH. 
Ain't no such animal. But there is a Snell, a DOT, and a CE 
certification label, which a legislator could find out by asking ANY 
vendor or user of the product.B
