Call me old school, crazy, whatever, but kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, etc. should take MORE care than larger vessels. This doesn't mean that operators of larger vessels are off the hook in any way from paying attention, but the possibility of extreme damage on zero-protection toys requires more proactive safety decisions.

This approach kept me and my cycling riding group safe(r) for thousands of miles over the years, as the routes, times, and behaviors were chosen carefully to minimize potential damage from automobile driving mistakes, etc.

For this reason, other than launching/retrieving, I wouldn't be anywhere near public docks, crossing busy areas, paddling at night, etc.

Anyone have the Instagram video yet?!
