Up-to-date (and accurate) news and information about kayaking and canoeing, and the world of paddling in general, can be hard to come by.  Paddling is one of those "niche" sports that doesn't make the mainstream news, and so you have to go looking for it....

Tips & Tricks
     
Reflective tape

Reflective tape can come in handy in an emergency situation. Reflective tape is very visible at night, and is often the first thing that rescue teams see while searching for a lost paddler. Just make sure the tape is the weatherproof type sold in boating supply stores and bicycle shops.

You'll want to run a line of tape down the hull (above the waterline) of your kayak. If you have a plastic-hulled boat that tape won't stick to, try sewing the tape inside a 1" tubular webbing that can be attached over the boat's deck lines. You'll also want to tape the blades of your paddles, your PFD, and your helmet (if you wear one).
