Summary
Paddle sports are exploding in Washington state—with half the population hitting the water on boards or kayaks—but with more people comes more risk. A new state safety campaign is pushing hard for life jackets, after 61% of boating deaths in 2024 involved paddle sports, most without one. The law requires you to have a life jacket, but experts insist you must wear it. Add a whistle, light, and distress signal if paddling after dark. Alcohol kills—responsible for a third of fatal accidents. Dress for water temp, not air, and always use Coast Guard-approved gear. Safety isn’t optional; it’s the new normal on the water.
