Wisconsin – Senate Bill 286
Paddlesports Regulation
This bill provides that the personal flotation device
requirements under current law do not apply to a stand-up
paddleboard with respect to any person on the board who is 18
years of age or older.
This bill defines “stand-up paddleboard” to mean a
buoyant board designed to be manually propelled on water by
a person paddling from a standing or kneeling position.
Under current law, every boat is required to carry at least one
personal flotation device for each person on board or being
attended by the boat.
