The people who coordinate RICKA
trips are responsible for setting a meeting time and how to get
to the put-in and take-out. The trip coordinators are unpaid
volunteers who are not professionals. They are not
and cannot be responsible for determining the adequacy of your
skill level, your personal safety, well-being, or happiness. Trips
are group events. You, and you alone, are responsible for
yourself |
PFDs (life vests) are required on all RICKA and Blackstone
Valley Paddle Club trips. Please
stay out of channels and be aware of boating traffic. Canoes and
kayaks do not
have the right of way.
Note: Inflatable
PFDs (life
vests) are not acceptable for paddling on RICKA Flatwater trips
or Blackstone Valley Paddle Club trips for safety reasons.
Any paddle sport is an assumed risk sport.
Some aspects of canoeing and kayaking involve the risk of
serious injury or death. The Rhode Island Canoe and Kayak
Association, although safety conscious, cannot guarantee your
personal safety in club activities.
