Just looking back at this pic makes me realize the importance of being clearly visible.
I was looking back for Christian because I was sure he was behind me but I could not see him.. He had fallen in and his white board could not be seen against the whitecaps.
It was only when he climbed back on with his red shirt that I could just see him.. It might end up like those roadside workers that wear day glow vests so they can be seen.
Just a thought...btw.. Can you see him in this pic.
I'm also thinking about orange or red contact (like the stuff you cover books with) for the face of the paddle blade and you could just peel it off after.
