I captured this image of a Paddle Boarder in June 2021 from the Moat Wall of Calshot Castle Southampton. At the time the Paddle Board and its rider were moving down Southampton Water heading in the direction of the Solent. After scrutinising the image, two thoughts came to mind. The first was that Paddle Boarding does not seem to me to provide the rider with much scope for carrying personal possessions, whilst the second, is that the boarder does not appear to me to be wearing any obvious buoyancy aid unless his black T shirt serves multiple purposes.
