🦺 From Rhode Island State Parks: Wearing a life jacket while paddling in Rhode Island is no longer optional. The “mandatory personal flotation device (PDF) wear for all paddle craft” rule is one of five new safety regulations written to save lives. Violations could result in the imposition of a $100 ticket. The PFD regulation states that all operators and passengers of canoes, kayaks, sailboards, kiteboards, paddleboards, and any other paddle craft must always wear a United States Coast Guard (USCG)-approved PFD while underway regardless of age.
