When entering the ocean you should always learn about Rip Currents. If you get caught in a rip current going out to sea, don’t panic, and don’t paddle directly against it but at a perpendicular angle away from it. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that are prevalent along the East, Gulf, and West coasts of the U.S., as well as along the shores of the Great Lakes. Moving at speeds of up to eight feet per second, panicked swimmers often try to counter a rip current by swimming straight back to shore—putting themselves at risk of drowning because of fatigue. If caught in a rip current, don’t fight it! Swim parallel to the shore and swim back to land at an angle.
For your first-time kayaking, or if you’re still newer to the sport are heading out on the water, we suggest you follow these tips: The “Four W’s” Where, Waves, Wind and Weather are among the things to take into consideration when choosing a place to paddle. Wind, lightning, fog and quickly changing temperatures are weather dangers to avoid. Check the weather forecast before going out.
Motorized traffic is another hazard to consider; grant any powerboat the right-of-way. A conservative and safety-conscious attitude is important when on the water and even as you’re planning for your trip. The Coast Guard counts a Kayak as a “vessel”, which means they require you to have a life jacket and whistle when outside a swimming or surf area.
Picking the best location for paddling is a great way of ensuring a safe outing. The ideal place for the beginner has warm water and good access for launching and lots of places to get out on shore. Pick a spot where you can see the opposite shoreline. Launch your kayak from a shore that is visible to others on land. If you’re kayaking with a group that is remaining on the beach, your kayak will be in plain view should you require assistance or emergency help.
Plan your first few trips to be short and safe. Choose a bright and sunny day that doesn’t have a forecast of rain or high winds to keep your environmental challenges as predictable as possible. Know your limits and underestimate the amount of time you can safely kayak before you get fatigued. Like other workouts, you don’t want to overdo your first kayaking trips and make it difficult to paddle back to shore. Limit your first trip to an hour and then extend as you feel comfortable.
