Accessories; Safety Equipment - Perception kayak Owner's Manual

ESSENTIALS CHECKLIST:
PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD)
A USCG approved, comfortable and secure fitting
PFD should be worn at all times. Shorter PFDs are
available that are ideal for kayak paddling.
PADDLE
Choosing a paddle is almost as important as your
choice of boat. Blade shape, length, weight, and
material all offer different experiences. On longer
trips, it is strongly recommended that you have a
spare paddle that can be easily stowed on your deck.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

USCG regulations require an audible signal device (a
horn or whistle) to be used in all watercraft. In addition,
it is recommended that all paddlers carry a bilge pump
(to drain water from the kayak), and a paddle float.
Be sure to secure training in the operation of a paddlefloat.
PERSONAL GEAR
There are many items that you may wish to take with you
on a paddling trip. Your location, length of journey, group
size, weather, etc. will all play a part in this "essentials list."
• Drinking water
• Snacks
• Extra clothes in a drybag
• Map or chart
• First- Aid
• Matches
• Sun protection
To help you learn about the logistics of a paddling trip and
correct paddling technique we strongly recommend a
good beginner-level paddling course from a certified
instructor.
OTHER ACCESSORIES:
There are a wide variety of accessories designed
for your kayak to enhance the performance and
overall experience. Not all accessories are
available for all models.
SPRAYSKIRT
For longer trips or rougher conditions, a sprayskirt is
worn by the paddler to create a watertight seal,
preventing the cockpit from filling up with water.
DRY BAG
Ultra-light and water-resistant storage for an extra
level of protection and accessibility for gear.
