What are the three golden rules of kayaking?

The 3 Golden Rules of whitewater paddling are a set of rules that all paddlers need to apply, regardless of the type of paddling being done. You need to separate your upper and lower body movements, use the power of your torso, and maintain control of your kayak with an active blade. Kneeling remains the best choice for classic soloists and paddling most technical whitewater, but if you don’t want to kneel, learn to paddle properly when seated.

What is the best color kayak for visibility?

Yellow and Orange- Highly visible on the water making them an excellent choice for safety as they stand out in various conditions, including foggy, overcast days. Green and Blue- These can blend into natural surroundings depending on the sea state so perhaps not quite so visible. Neon colors, such as neon yellow, pink, bright orange, and lime green, are the most visible bathing suit colors. These bright, fluorescent hues are the safest colors that create a strong contrast against the water, making the wearer easier to spot from a distance.A study entitled On-Water Visibility, conducted by Mustang Survival, and sponsored in part by WorkSafeBC’s Research Secretariat program, found that florescent green immersion suits routinely beat standard oranges, reds, and yellows in terms of visual detection in water – particularly in low-light conditions.
