PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be safe out there!!!
We witnessed this couple being launched today totally shocking!
A kids yellow dingy paddle (we sell them for £7.99)
A inappropriate and poorly fitted impact vest (generally used for wind surfing and waterskiing) and worst of all, no bouyancy aid at all on the lady at the front!
This is a fatality waiting to happen!!
We have spent many years establishing Combe Martin as a safe and welcoming area for paddlesports, this would get undone in an instant if something horrible should happen!
I have personally spent nearly 20 years in professional maritime safety and rescue. If you paying for this type of gear then walk away and ask for a refund!!
Come to us or see Gary or Helen at Surfside, the last thing we all need is a fatality in Combe Martin Bay!!
