A 12" helium balloon on a 5' string could be tied to the kayak for extra visibility. How's that work ...... a white or yellow helium balloon? Hannafords in Meredith has them for something like a dollar or two.
For kayaking on busy summer weekends, probably two helium balloons, both bow and stern, could be a help.
Maybe a 36"-diameter, bright florescent yellow weather balloon, attached to a 15' line for the very busy July 4 weekend!
Is there a Belknap County state rep onboard here who will sponsor a new law that requires all kayaks to have both a white helium balloon tied to the bow, and a yellow helium balloon tied to the stern, both attached with a 60" string.

At 45-mph, the Winnipesaukee speed limit, what's the period of time between first seeing a kayak, and striking the kayak after you have seen it? So, could be the speed limit should get lowered down to 35-mph what with this lake crowded with both the motorboats and kayaks.
Arrive alive at 35-mph!
