What safety tips should I know before kayaking?

Before You Go:

  • Know Your Limits: Start with calm waters and gradually progress to more challenging conditions.

  • Inform Someone: Let a friend or family member know your plans, including your launch point, destination, and expected return time.

  • Dress Appropriately: Wear clothing that will keep you warm and dry, such as a wetsuit or drysuit in cold water.

  • Pack Essential Gear: Bring a whistle, a waterproof phone case, a first-aid kit, and a map of the area.

On the Water:

  • Paddle with a Partner: Kayaking with a buddy is always safer.

  • Stay Close to Shore: Especially if you're a beginner.

  • Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Watch for other boats, swimmers, and obstacles.

  • Check the Water Conditions: Avoid strong currents, large waves, and other hazards.

  • Know How to Self-Rescue: Practice basic self-rescue techniques, such as re-entering your kayak from the water.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially on hot days.

By following these safety tips, you can enjoy a safe and fun kayaking experience.

Which kayaks are best for beginners?

For beginners, it's best to choose a kayak that is stable, easy to maneuver, and offers good primary stability. Here are a few types of kayaks that are ideal for beginners:

Sit-on-top kayaks:

  • Pros: Easy to get in and out of, very stable, and great for casual paddling and fishing.

  • Cons: Can be less efficient in rough water and can be more difficult to paddle in windy conditions.

Recreational sit-inside kayaks:

  • Pros: More efficient in rough water, better tracking, and more comfortable for longer trips.

  • Cons: Can be more difficult to get in and out of, and may require more upper body strength.

Inflatable kayaks:

  • Pros: Portable, easy to store, and affordable.

  • Cons: Can be less durable than rigid kayaks and may not be as stable.

When choosing a kayak, consider the following factors:

  • Your skill level: If you're a beginner, a wider, more stable kayak is a good choice.

  • Your intended use: Are you kayaking on calm lakes or rough rivers?

  • Your budget: Kayaks range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.

  • Your physical ability: Consider your strength and flexibility when choosing a kayak.

Can I rent other water sports gear along with a kayak?

Yes, you can rent additional water sports gear along with a kayak. In addition to PFDs or life jackets, we also offer paddleboard and surfboard rentals. This allows you to explore various water activities during your trip.

Are life jackets included with kayak rentals?

No, life jackets are not included in our kayak rentals. However, we do offer Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) or life jackets for rent. It's crucial to prioritize safety on the water, so we strongly recommend renting a life jacket along with your kayak.
