Safety is our number one priority. All participants MUST wear life jackets per our US Coast Guard permit. The float is supervised by US Coast Guard, Multnomah County River Patrol, AMR-River Rescue, Portland Fire, and 50-75 water monitors and safety paddlers. 

Sorry, but alcohol is forbidden on the float. Anyone found consuming alcohol on the float will be removed by law enforcement. You can drink at the beach party once on shore.

Be safe in the sun

It could be hot and sunny at TBF. It’s a good idea to always avoid sunburns and check
your skin for melanoma. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer. If caught
early, survival rates are great. If left untreated over time, survival rates drastically
decrease.
 
Check your skin and that of others. If you see something, get it checked out. Learn
