	Snowboarding, mt biking, skateboarding, atv riding, motocross, climbin and football all see young rippers taking part when they come from a family that enjoys these sports - why not paddling? I wasn't referring to paddling per se but paddling Class V. Are they not as dangerous? Probably not, because we cannot breathe water. But that's why the parents have to do a good job of educating them to what is 'proper' safety protocall as well as what is safe. Exactly.
