"Possibly the most important piece of equipment beyond your pfd and paddle." Kayaks and canoes have an extremely low profile – typically 2 ft or less above water - making them hard to be seen in even the best water conditions. This is clearly a major safety problem for everyone on the water, including operators of powerboats, sailboats, fisherman, sea planes, and even other kayaks and canoes.
Kayakers should carry at least some of the burden of safety.
I'm going to contact my state rep and have them submit a bill right away. |
Seaplane Pilot,
Thanks
Just ordered one. Already have orange Kayak, but Stingray60's encounter in the waves gave me pause as RG loves to go out in the big waves.
