It's getting dark and you don't want to become the hood ornament for some reckless powerboat out on the water. You need an easy and reliable way to let boats know you're out there with them. Plus, aside from just being commonsense, having a signaling light at night is required by the US Coast Guard.
Please, then, allow me to introduce you to the Knog Frog Strobe. Frogs are silicone lights marketed to cyclists. They are intended to be wrapped around handlebars or seatposts and have solid and flashing settings. Though not technically waterproof, they are water resistant. And I've used them for years on evening and night adventures, wrapped about half-way down the shaft of my paddle. Visible for a mile or more, the simple action of paddling your board allow Frogs to grab the attention of other boaters on the water.
