‘The RNLI recommends that all people paddleboarding should take their time to research the most appropriate leash, and to wear a suitable personal flotation device such as a buoyancy aid or lifejacket. ‘If you can, always paddleboard with friend and take a phone in a waterproof pouch to allow you to call for help if needed, if heading out alone ensure you tell someone where you are going and what time you will be back.’
