Their kayak two-bladed paddle seems to get noticed, first, by a motorboat as it approaches and alters its course. Painting the blades high gloss white works good what with the paddle movement to be seen from something like 1/2-mile away, across the water.
A flag doesn't work as well as a moving twin blade paddle because the flag is stationary, unlike the paddle, and a flag just blends into the background when seen from a distance.
So, kayaks already have an identifier as seen by an approaching motorboat with the twin-bladed, moving paddle and the color bright white is a lot better than a dark color to get seen by the driver in an approaching motorboat.
