>Hi Paddlers 
> 
>The recognition of seakayaks depends to a great extent of colours on the boat
>and the equipment. If all paddles was red, boats yellow and flotation aid
>screaming red this would be as good as possible for normal use. A flag and
>flashing light (for evenings) in addition will improve. 
>
>Dealer offers sea alike camouflage colours. I myself have a green bluish
>floatation aid (not recommendable) and a yellow boat (seakayak type Hasle
>Exporer) and blue spray deck. I am still alive but the visibility could have
>been better. 
> 
>The dealers have a great responsibility to recommend products with adequate
>visibility.
>
>I wander if there are possible to spray on colours for better visibility on
>paddles?
