Equipment Requirements for Paddleboards
When using a stand-up paddleboard beyond the narrow limits of a swimming, surfing, or bathing area, your stand-up paddleboard must have:
- A life jacket for each person on board
- A sound-producing device such as a whistle
- Navigation lights when used between sunset and sunrise—this may be a flashlight or a headlamp with a white light
- Visual distress signals when used on federally controlled waters
