BE AWARE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS

The current conditions you experience when you are kayaking and ultimately fall out of the boat will significantly influence how easy it is for you to get back into your boat and keep paddling. If you are paddling on a calm, flat lake to start with, for instance, it will be much easier to get back into your boat than if you are battling ocean swells. Kayaking at sea inherently comes with more risks and dangers than kayaking on calmer bodies of water. Even though kayaking conditions may be more perilous out at sea, having a stable sit-on-top kayak will make it more likely that you can get through the days or the evening’s kayaking adventure without an issue.

If you regularly kayak in rough waters, it’s a good idea to get some kind of safety training before you start seriously kayaking in river so that you can better help yourself, and fellow kayakers, if you get into trouble when you hit tumultuous seas or strong currents. While Panchagangavalli River kayaking in calm waters is generally safe, kayaking in waves, currents, fog, and other maritime hazards makes the sport riskier. When conditions are riskier, the likelihood of falling out of your kayak increases, too.

PREPARING FOR KAYAKING

No matter your experience level on the water, it is always a good idea to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) or a life vest. You should wear a PFD or a life vest no matter where you plan to kayak, your experience level, or how long you intend to be out on the water. Since anything can happen on the water, your best bet is to prepare for the worst case and know how to respond accordingly.

CALM RECOVERY

When you flip over unexpectedly while kayaking in Nevada, it may be natural to react with some degree of panic and uncertainty. However, staying calm is your best bet for returning to the kayak quickly and safely. If you panic after falling out of your kayak, you can quickly become fatigued faster than usual, jeopardizing your chances of getting back into the boat and safely back to shore. Whether you have a sit-in or sit-on-top kayak, you should strive to get back in the boat as soon as possible to avoid having water leak into the compartments and the hull.
