With summer almost here, families and friends are eager to get outdoors and spend time on the water – boating, fishing, sailing and more. But, with approximately 500 people drowning each year from recreational boating accidents, it is imperative to push the message of “Wear It!”: wear your life jacket at all times while you are on the water.
The National Safe Boating Council, in partnership with the Canadian Safe Boating Council, invite boating safety professionals, the boating community and the media to participate in “Ready, Set, Wear It!” on Saturday, May 19. Participants in cities around the globe will gather to set a world record for the most life jackets worn and inflatable life jackets inflated. The goal is not only to promote the comfortable and versatile options when it comes to life jackets, but also to educate the public about life jackets and safe boating in general.
Last year, 1,685 people gathered at more than 99 events held around the world to set a new record for the number of participants who inflated their inflatable life jacket or wore an inherently buoyant life jacket.
Sea-Doo has a full line of Personal Floatation Devices (PFD)s from our Universal Basic PFD to the Men’s Airflow PFD. Not to leave out
the ladies, we have the Ladies Motion PFD as well as a Ladies Airflow and other choices. Our children’s line of PFDs includes the popular Kids SandSea and more.

I know a guy that crosses Lake Ontario in home built skin on frame kaykas. He sleeps overnight in the yaks on the journey. He does inflate a small radar balloon with helium and sends it up above his kayak to make sure the cargo ships pick him up at night and don’t run him over. He was still alive last I knew, but it’s not something I’d attempt.
