So I was out at Topanga State Beach inflaing my fusion and AE Conv. when a lifeguard came by and stated I could not launch any inflatables off the beach in Los Angeles county. This is due to the inflatable loosing air and wrapping around the person and drowning. I stated that was not possible due to both having a frame within the boat. He said I could talk to the supervised, so I did. He came out and was impressed with the structure of the boat and said it was okay to take out. Thank god I took my back bone tor the Conv.
Anyone else have any experience like that? I would hate it to happen again and not being able to go out.
