Ne jamais vous tenir debout dans le

la plupart des cas, il est beaucoup plus dangereux
de tenter de nager jusqu’à la rive que de rester avec
l’embarcation.

liser l’embarcation sans qu’elle soit accompagnée
d’une personne adulte.
Vérifier la météo avant chaque sortie en kayak. Ne
jamais naviguer dans des conditions climatiques diffi-
ciles (pluie, vent fort, orage, tempête…) qui risquent
de faire chavirer votre embarcation.

la garde côtière et/ou les lois des divers paliers de
