I'm sorry Paul, but I would NEVER be caught in a boat on the water
without at least my PFD!
I see quite a few fla****er racers who don't wear PFDs during
training.
Too cool for PFDs, eh? Hope they never need one!
John Kuthe...
I confess that I'm not wearing a PFD in a couple of my technique videos.
I rarely wear one doing a fla****er workout, especially in the summer.
Nipple burn, you know. Of course the section of river that I use is
only 75 ft wide and during the summer, only 3 ft deep. When the (flat)
water is really shallow, I'll wear a helmet, but no PFD. And so far, in
35+ years of paddling, I haven't fallen over in flat water unless I was
trying big pivot moves (where I rolled).
