Depending how you fall, is possible to get smacked upside your head on the board, or on a rock, a dock, any nearby hard object like a mooring float or even a shallow sandy bottom. Paddle boarding .....is fun water exercise .... can be a head knocker.
If paddle boarders don't want to wear a pfd because it is too hot and bulky on a hot day, it is required to have a pfd and a whistle on board, so one can do that and wear a home made foam noodle belt which is less bulky and actually works a lot better for swimming than a pfd.
