Kayak Safety

Kayaking is great fun but you should learn the basics, such as capsize practice, before going too far. Kayak clubs can be a great way to learn these skills.

Kayak Safety Gear

Knowing what you need to kayak safely will help you enjoy the sport whilst minimising risk.  A buoyancy aid should always be worn along with clothing suitable for the conditions. A helmet should be worn for certain types of kayaking such as river kayaking.

Depending on the type of kayaking you are doing you may choose to carry throwlines, flares, bilge pumps, vhf radios or other types of kayak safety gear.  Planning the right clothing is also part of your safety strategy and carrying a storm cagoule or other emergency items can be a lifesaver.
