Be Well-Equipped to Handle Any Emergency
Anyone can run into trouble on the water, no matter how skilled they are. Carrying safety equipment is just as important as developing your paddling skills. You should never go out on a kayak without wearing a life vest. Emergency equipment such as a radio, flares, whistle, signal mirror, air horn and strobe should be carried. A towline of at least 25 feet should be attached to the kayak. An extra paddle and extra clothing are a good idea to have on hand. Some other items you should pack include a first aid kit, a flashlight, a knife, rain gear and duct tape (to patch a hole in the kayak).
