ESSENTIALS CHECKLIST:
PADDLE
Paddles vary from 180cm to about
230cm. Given variations in pad-
dling style, height, arm and boat
length we recommend testing
different paddle lengths and blade
shapes.
BUOYANCY AID / PFD
Never go kayaking without wear-
ing an approved, correctly fitting
buoyancy aid. Always try on
buoyancy aids before you buy and
remember to always inspect for
wear or diminished flotation foam
before you get on the water.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS:
THROWLINE
Never go whitewater kayaking
without a throwline and rescue
knife and learn how to use them.
Ask your local stockist for details
of course providers.
FIRST AID KIT
There are several self-contained
waterproof versions for watersports
available or put one together
yourself.

AIRBAGS
Using airbags in your kayak keeps
some of the water out of the boat
in the event of a capsize, making it
easier to empty and increasing its
buoyancy.
SPRAYDECK
We recommend using a spraydeck
on moving water to keep water
out of the boat and allow you to
perform an Eskimo roll. Ensure you
are comfortable releasing the deck
and exiting the boat before use.
SPLIT PADDLE
If you loose or break your original
set you could be in trouble.
Make sure you have at least one
spare set per group.
SLING / KARABINER
A simple but important piece of
whitewater rescue equipment.
A sling has a variety of uses from
belay anchor to improvised short
throwline. Karabiners are essential to
clip into boats, paddles or people.
Visit palmequipmenteurope.com or your local retailer to learn more.
OUTERWEAR
The correct choice of clothing
is a major consideration when
kayaking. The type of waterproof
protective clothing is dictated by
water temperature, the weather
conditions and type of activity.
INSULATING LAYERS
Quick drying synthetic fabrics are
a must – don't wear cotton.
A range of polyester thermal layers
designed specifically for kayaking
are available from palmequip-
menteurope.com
GOOD RIVER SHOES
Obvious, but essential. You'll need
shoes with good grip and firm
soles.
HELMET
Always wear an approved kayaking
helmet when appropriate. A good
fitting helmet could save your life.
There is a great choice of helmets
designed specifically for kayakers
(check it's approved to EN1385).
