Experienced kayaker offers advice to avoid tragedy
With plenty of experience in the waters of Pictou County and around the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when it comes to kayaking Chris Lockyer knows what he's talking about.
After hearing about some of the incidents that have taken place recently there are a few things Lockyer wants people to know to prevent future accidents,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"One of the big mistakes people make is not getting a proper marine forecast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Lockyer. Because the sea is a bit more unpredictable than a lake one of the most important aspects of going out on salt water is making sure you have a good marine forecast. Although it may look sunny and beautiful outside the oceans can change rapidly.
Another problem: "The lack of general training,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a lot of people rely on friends or family to teach them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Lockyer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who believes you are best off if you take some kind of general training or beginner course. "By taking at least one course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an intro course, it gives them a few skills."
A vital point when looking to take courses for kayaking is whether the course is a certified one, and the instructor is certified to teach it.
"There's a lot more to kayaking than going out for a little paddle and teaching people a couple of skills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Lockyer. "You wouldn't go to a dentist with no degree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or a doctor with no degree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so you should get training from someone certified."
For anyone interested in trying kayaking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lockyer suggests trying a guided excursion with a company or with someone who is certified to teach and has experience.
If you are interested in taking up kayaking after that he recommends taking a course before you begin looking at boats. "It makes sense to have some skills before you buy a boat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
He compared it to buying a pair of running shoes: each pair does something different for your feet, some have extra arch support,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some are for trails and some are for indoors. As Lockyer explains it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], buying a boat is similar in the sense that different boats do different things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some are for using for an hour or so at the cottage and other are fully equipped with storage pockets and anything else a serious kayaker might need on the ocean.
