  1. Essential Safety Measures for Kayakers Kayaking is a fun and adventurous sport. It is one of the most amazing opportunities to commune with nature. As with any outdoor sport where nature is your partner, there are certain precautions one must take to remain safe and also to maintain the safety of others. When participating in water sports, knowledge and a certain level of expertise is vital to your enjoyment of the sport. Kayaking can be a memorable outing as long as its participants adhere to all safety precautions. Courses: Taking a course is a great way to prepare you for a safe and enjoyable kayaking outing. Safety courses are available for kayaking and canoeing enthusiasts that provide on- water instructions and rescue techniques. Rules of the Water: Kayakers should research the rules of traveling on water to protect themselves and others in the water. When sharing the waterways, it’s crucial to know how to maneuver your kayak or canoe in the proper manner by following the rules. Know Your Skill Level:Before hitting the waterways, it’s best to know your skill level. If you require a coach or guide to assist you on your kayaking trips, they are easy to find. Don’t try to take on waters that require a higher level of expertise than that which you are equipped. Know what you are capable of and what you are not, to keep yourself and others out of harm’s way. Prepare and Plan: Going on a kayaking trip without preparation or planning is not advised. When you plan your trip ahead of time, you will be more careful to gather all safety gear and supplies before hitting the water. It may seem like an adventure to decide on a whim to pick up some friends and go kayaking, but this is not the best decision for everyone’s safety. Location!: Kayaks need to yield for powerboats. Kayaks are more able to use the sides of waterways and should keep out of channels which are navigated by powerboats. So where you kayak is just as important as how you kayak.
