OTTAWA -- Ontario Provincial Police are reminding  people to leave the booze on shore when you go paddleboarding this summer.

Hawkesbury OPP marine officers stopped a paddleboard on the Ottawa River near L'Orignal Beach on Tuesday.

The OPP says the two boarders "did not have the required personal flotation devices, signalling devices and buoyant line but were drinking."

The two boarders received tickets and warnings.

The OPP said on Twitter that "Open liquor on any vessel, powered or otherwise, is illegal."

"(Did you know) that you can be charged with impaired operation in a canoe or paddle board? You can, just like in your car."
