Compare paddle boards and gear sold in Canada. Transport Canada sets equipment rules for paddle craft, summarised below.
Check the law before you buy. Transport Canada treats paddleboards as human-powered craft that must carry the safety equipment set out in the Small Vessel Regulations and its Safe Boating Guide. Parks Canada summarises the options as either wearing a PFD with a whistle, or carrying a PFD, a whistle and a floating throw rope on board. Parks Canada also recommends wearing a PFD and a leash, and notes inflatable PFDs are not allowed for anyone under 16.
