Sea Eagle 330 Inflatable Kayak on Torch Lake, MichiganHere’s a few ‘Common Sense’ kayaking tips to help you enjoy your paddling and keep you safe.
If you’re not familiar with an area, check with the local Coast Guard for day and nighttime kayaking requirements. Kayaks should be used by someone who is familiar with water conditions. Always check the condition of your kayak and gear before entering the water. Wear a coast guard approved personal floatation device (pfd). Understand your limitations. Be aware of your environment, the weather and boat traffic. Read your user manual carefully. Do not use products while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And above all else, use good judgment and, oh yeah, common sense!
