Most paddlers put a lot of thought into choosing the right kayak, and then even more thought into choosing the right paddle. But when it comes to the PFD, a lot of people treat it like an afterthought. The truth is, any properly approved PFD will help keep you afloat. But choosing the right PFD can make a surprisingly big difference in your overall paddling experience. The right one can improve comfort, enhance safety, and give you quick access to the little things that make a day on the water easier and more enjoyable. In this video, I’m talking about why your PFD matters more than most paddlers realize, what PFDs I use, and why I use them.
