SAFETY TIPS
In the ocean: do not stand-up paddle at heavy swells or strong winds.
In rivers & estuaries: never paddle in direction to the ocean. The currents there are very strong, and can drag you to the middle of the ocean! This is particular true during ebb tides (change between high tide and low tide).
