SAFETY FIRST!!!

• • Everyone must wear a life jacket to take out an OC1.

  • Go out with a paddling partner until you get comfortable in one.

  • If lightning or thunder is near and you don't feel you have enough time to get back, paddle to the nearest shore and pull the outrigger out. Seek shelter and wait for the storm to pass before returning the OC1 to the rack.

  • If you flip the outrigger and not able to get back on, try to swim the OC1 back to a shore, or if you are just too tired, then leave the equipment and swim back to shore. And then either call me or work to secure help in retrieving the equipment with our club's row boat, dragon boat or kayak.

  • Make sure to bring water to stay hydrated!

GOOD LUCK!!!

HAVE FUN!!!
