Anyone have a problem with this?

No life jacket? no kill switch clipped to pilot? He can afford a
zodiak, he can afford a jacket and kill cable. If he had those, I
would have no problem at all, especially with no one else on board.
Looks fun. In fact with jackets and a proper eye on safety, and with
my kids permission, I would do it with them in the boat...

I play with horses when I can, ride dirt bike, and have been known to
paddle in the dead of winter in Connecticut, I live young, lot's of
others here do too. We just live young, with an old man's eye on the
little stuff that makes all the difference between play, and someone
getting an eye poked out
