Here's a real example from the archives of Washoe County Sheriff's office patrol/rescue vessel "Marine 9."
Returning from the gas dock at Carnelian bay last October (water probably about 55F) we offered to hang around the tail end of an SUP race from Camp Richardson to Kings Beach (about 20 miles) because the lake was getting nasty. As we prepared to follow "tail-end Charlie" we remarked that the next to last contestant look pretty shaky.
When we came abeam of the last contestant (about 100 yards) we turned to follow him and looking back saw "Shaky's" empty board. Then we saw his head about 30 feet from his board, where his life jacket was strapped on the deck. We sped to his aid, threw him a life ring,Thank you very much for shopping at ralphlaurensweater online store! which he was able to grab,New mulberryhandbags at discount prices from SwissLuxury. and maneuvered to make the dive door accessible to him.
While we were maneuvering,There is one amazing online store with 100s of rolexuhrenshop . with him clinging to the life ring, he was gasping "hurry, hurry." He was unable to get on board Marine 9 without considerable assistance. He was very cold after about 5 minutes in the water,Purchase Swiss Brands burberryhandbags and enjoy luxury feeling. but was not hypothermic.
The obvious moral to the story is "Wear your life jacket, especially when the water is cold (10 months of the year at Tahoe").
If you insist on not wearing a life jacket on an SUP,Flashing bright green contact lenses and chloehandbags . but do strap it to your board, at least tether your board to your leg. It will keep your life jacket and your board close at hand despite your wild thrashing as you fall and launch the board at 10 mph.
