Essential Safety Equipment
Category: Safety, Gear
The main safety considerations for kayaking in the Costa Blanca are as follows:
Carry water with you. 1 litre for each hour of your trip.
Wear sunscreen and take some with you if you are planning on swimming
Wear a flotation jacket (unless you are an experienced paddler, staying close to the shore in calm conditions and with plenty of people around you)
In waves of more than 0.4m, wear a helmet.
Take a mobile phone.
