We Need Your Attention about Kayaks and Paddle Boards.

Because we have a very busy boating week coming up, here are a couple of important issues with the above mentioned crafts that need clarification.

There is a Federal law that states you must either wear a PFD or have a PFD attached to the paddle board. There is no state law YET, so we will adhere to this federal law and enforce it.

Now about after sunset usage of kayaks/canoes:
The State law requires these crafts to display an “electric torch” after dark. This means a white light that is visible from 360 degrees must be used after sunset.
