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

He has no experience in whitewater paddling, though I did not ask if he 
ever rafted. If he is like the typical person, he probably has done 
that a few times in his life. That said, it is patently ridiculous to 
craft a bill without actually handling the product you are requiring 
everyone else to wear. Specifically if the language be as specific as 
this Barney Fife like deputy demanded. We have since asked another OR 
cop what his attitude was regarding the matter. He only cared about it 
being a lifejacket, not what the label said. Entirely reasonable.

Cheers,

Rob G

That sounds nutty. Will they also begin to classify the grade of 
whitewater on the lifejackets?B

So did the guy with this bright idea mention how much whitewater 
kayaking/rafting/canoeing experience he has?B
