I don't think any safety issue is over looked there and is a chance to learn what we take for granted
checking weather
being able to contact help
being able to re mount a kayak you've been knocked off
dressing to stay warm
and many other safety things
the biggest problem is many buy kayaks from places where the retailer also doesn't know about kayaking and doesn't give any of the right info
to these inexperienced new punters
for example film by Rhino at Altona
