Kayaking gear

Kayaking gear includes essential equipment for safety and comfort. The kayak itself is a small boat designed for paddling on water. A paddle is used to steer and propel the kayak. A personal flotation device (PFD) or life jacket keeps you afloat if you fall in. Spray skirts help keep water out of the kayak's cockpit. Helmets protect your head in rocky or challenging waters. Additional gear may include waterproof bags for gear storage, paddling gloves, and appropriate clothing like quick-drying clothes and water shoes. Proper gear ensures a safe, enjoyable kayaking experience while adapting to water conditions.
