A few handy tips for staying safe on the water when kayaking…

Do:

1. Always let someone know where you’re going and how long you expect to be
2. Always wear a buoyancy aid
3. Carry water, snacks, spare layers and a jacket with you
4. Avoid offshore winds (when the wind is blowing you away from the beach)
5. Be considerate and mindful of other water users

Don’t:

1. Ever get to too close to wildlife
2. Forget to check the weather forecast
