Choosing a Personal Flotation Devices (PFD)
Thank you for making this video. I'm glad I bought a full life jacket.
Great video bro
Great tutorial Drew. Tomorrow will be my first day paddle boarding and this is exactly what I was looking for.
That's great @@BurekBoss, how did it go? Hope some of my other videos are helpful as well.
Thank you this is so helpful!!

Thanks for this video
Glad you found ti Stephanie, hope you find more of my videos useful. I'll be posting more very soon.
Looks like Granville island. Hello from fellow vancouver paddler!
Yup 100% correct. This is the doc in Alder Bay, right behind the community centre on Granville Island.
Great video I'm new at this and did what you should never do. I tried to board mine standing up and lost my balance and hit the dock. Luckily I didn't hit my head. So you need to get on your knees board the board push away from the dock then stand up. Makes perfect sense
Good point. And feet behind you not under the board. I have observed that a angle of 15 to 20° to the aft quarter of the board is probably going to be best. This is something that I will be practicing on the 15th August. Taking hold of the central handle is also necessary to do so. As said before. I will be practicing this - accordingly.
what about a wetsuit jacket and boardies?
Hi Rich, thanks for the comment. A wetsuit jacket and boardies can work for sure, if there is a chance of getting wet or sitting a lot I'd still lean towards a shorty or shorts with a neoprene lining as you can loose body heat quickly from your groin area. Especially when evaporation is a factor.
Chock-full of helpful hints on what to wear. Thanks I plan on taking my first crack at Sup in the next week.

Kayaking and Yoga.. I haven't seen this combination before but makes sense!
