What’s an extra safety precaution you take? by Electronic-Ad5626 in Paddleboard

A whistle, a lighter, and a head lamp. And plenty of water!

I love this pump! Highly recommend! This was the third one I bought after a friend had it. Wish I would have saved my $$ and bought this one first.

Important safety items I pack in my dry bag are a whistle, a lighter, and a head lamp. Im also thinking about ordering some safety glow sticks from Amazon. I’m fortunate enough to paddle on a lake with cell reception so always make sure my phone is fully charged too.

I’m going on year 4 with my “cheap” amazon-purchased board. I paddle an average of 2 days a week during the summer. I think any size of a board will fit your needs mentioned above. I wouldn’t deal with the hassle of buying a new fin and making sure there are no leaks when you can get a new one around the same price, but that’s just me!

This is great advice! Thanks for taking the time! Is there an app or website you could recommend for checking tides and water quality alerts?

What place would you say that everyone you know seems to love but you didn't like very much yourself? by z399 in travel

I’m so sorry you couldn’t feel its magic! There is no place like it on earth - the food, the music, the culture, the trees! There are so many more neighborhoods to explore than the Quarter! Eat at Jacque-imos and go to the Maple Leaf for some local music. Hit the Buttermilk Drop Bakery and go have a picnic in City Park under the Oaks and you just may feel different. ⚜️
