Tip of the Month

Winter paddle by Gregg BoltonThe days are getting warm and the river are running high. Remember to dress for the water temperature and wear your Personal Floatation device. Even the strongest swimmers are quickly incapacitated by the effects of cold water. As a minimum wear synthetic clothing,a wetsuit and a PFD this time of year. Always paddle with people who have the skills and desire to help you should you find yourself in an immersion situation.

Paddle safe.
