Here are some tips to make your kayaking experience more fun and enjoyable.

Sea kayaking is for everyone and anyone. Just take it slow and enjoy. Use your common sense and only participate in trips that are at your level.

Whether you are an experienced paddler with superb swimming abilities or a beginner with little or no swimming skills, make sure you don your life jacket and wear it all the time you are in the water.

You are on the open water, the sun is bright, it is hot and you are wet with spray. Get sunglasses that actually protect your eyes (with UV rating and coverage). Reapply sunscreen frequently, wear long sleeves, and a hat that protects your ears and the back of your neck.
