Safety & River-Use Guidance
Whitewater kayaking should be undertaken with appropriate training and safety equipment. Always wear a properly fitted whitewater helmet and personal flotation device (PFD), and use appropriate protective gear for the conditions. Inspect the kayak, outfitting, footbrace, thigh braces, grab handles, and other components before each outing.
Choose rivers and conditions appropriate for your experience level, and follow local waterway requirements and established whitewater safety practices. Class V water can involve extremely hazardous conditions and should only be attempted by appropriately trained and experienced paddlers with suitable equipment and support.
