7. ON THE WATER
7.1 RECOMMENDED CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
While on the water you will need the following equipment:
Personal Floatation Device (Buoyancy Aid)
- PFDs should be
approved to the correct ISO/USCG standard and fit correctly
with sufficient floatation for your size and weight.
Paddle
- This kayak is intended for use with a double bladed
kayak paddle and we recommend using a paddle between
200cm and 220cm in length.
You should also ensure you dress appropriately for the
weather conditions. Remember that wind can cool you down
quickly, even on warm sunny days. Additional clothing may be
necessary.
Ensure that all equipment and baggage is stowed securely and
does not impede your safe exiting of the kayak.
7.2 WHERE TO USE YOUR INFINITY KAYAK
Infinity inflatable kayaks are perfect for use at sheltered beaches,
in calm coastal waters, on inland lakes and on still or slow
moving rivers.
You should avoid shallow rocky rivers and coastal rocks, as
these are likely to damage your kayak. Also avoid paddling
where there are many larger vessels present.
WARNING - DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY
AS SHOWN ON THE INSIDE OF THE KAYAK. DOING SO
WILL AFFECT ITS HANDLING, AS WELL AS REDUCING
STABILITY AND INCREASING THE CHANCE OF SWAMPING.
MAKE SURE LOADS ARE DISTRIBUTED AS CENTRALLY
AS POSSIBLE, WITH HEAVIER ITEMS IN THE BOTTOM AND
LIGHTER ONES ON TOP.
