SAFETY
Safety first,
At sea or in river, it’s important to take topographical maps about the paddling area and for sure to take different meteorological sources.
Thus we will be able to understand large systems forecast over the period and deduce the hypothetical impacts on the practice area.
About kayak safety rules, we organise some workshops with the objective to show you the most important rules to know for paddling in safety conditions.
