Well, wearing a mask or especially a scarf would make paddleboarding seem more like water boarding ... though I suppose that if you're caught in an undertow and are being dragged out to sea you could be "allowed" to remove the mask to cry for help (although the "experts" would strenuously oppose such an exemption as, without the exemption, people might opt to not go the ocean and remain under house arrest in their homes).
But in Florida, sanity seems to have prevailed. Kudos to the governor!
