Can I Fly with an Inflatable PFD?

A question I get asked quite often, especially when clients are packing for our standup paddleboarding trips to Belize is, "can I fly with my inflatable PFD?"

Mustang Survival recently came out with a great blog outlining the rules and regulations when it comes to flying with your inflatable PFD. Read the blog here before you start packing for your next paddling trip.

As a side note, a couple of PFD's that we really like for standup paddleboarding and promote at Norm Hann Expeditions is the Mustang Khimera Dual Floatation PFD and the Essentialist Inflatable Belt Pack. I wear have worn the Khimera for years and I love the simple, low profile design. I also use the Essentialist Belt Pack when I am training, down winding or paddling on our trips in Belize.

Paddle Surfing in the Maldives

By explore • October 20, 2026

I’m thrilled to be back in the Maldives, eagerly anticipating our paddle surf adventure in 2027. This marks my third journey with Moon Tours, a company that has been delivering exceptional experiences in the Maldives for over a decade, catering to travelers in search of a unique surfing experience in one of the most stunning locations on the planet. Over the course of 10 nights, we’ll navigate the heart of the Maldives aboard the splendid MV Adora, chasing the swell, wind, and conditions wherever they may lead us. As I look back on my previous trips, a few key insights from these surf excursions truly stand out.
