you'd be crazy not to take it with you. The last time I was in the bay, I was sprinting to the launch ramp when one of my turbo fins came loose. If I didn't have the paddle, I'd have to paddleboard it back to the ramp.

It's also useful when you want to push off from something, back up, or maneuver around in tight spaces (docks).
