Wearing a PFD can save your life in the case of a boating accident, but don’t take our word for it; listen to the impactful story of a boating accident survivor and how choosing the right PFD for your day on the water can be a life-changing decision. Join Adventure Team members Zach and Phoebe as they learn how PFDs work, how they are tested, why they are important and how to have fun on the water while wearing one!
