Question to those who know about these things better than I: Would it be of any help, safety wise, if the paddler teathered himself to the kayak like board surfers do with their boards. Or would it be even more dangerous for the paddler himself. Maybe get a leg yanked off or something. Surfers don't even wear helmets. Why don't they get beaned more often by the surfboads teathered to them? Surfers are young men forced to share a limited resource. Fighting, threats, and rudeness come with the territory. Usually some accomadations get worked out among the regulars, but pity the poor interloper, especially if he from a different genra of watercraft. Of course, a she might be welcomed with, uh shall we say, "open arms". *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
