Vol. 05

Today's 1st Nifty Noteables is an intresting find I ran across about a two weeks back. It is a safety item I believe will become a must have safety item for all kayak users. It's called the Waterbug's Kayak Self Rescue Ladder.  Fairly simple by design, but yet it will greatly benefit you if you need to use it in a life threatening situation.

When you fastened the Kayak Self Rescue Ladder to your kayak it can be used to bring your capsized kayak upright.  Then after you have brought your kayak to its upright position you can use this device to quickly and easily reenter your kayak.  This is all made possible thanks to this handy safety device known as WATERBUG'S KAYAK SELF RESCUE LADDER.

Today's 2ND Nifty Noteables is a homemade kayak rudder. I found this DIY rudder system on www.pinterest.com. Be careful, However, if you try to follow the links on the website its loaded with junk links.  I think this concept is interesting. The rudder is made from a section of PVC fence post, PVC pipe, and then some plexiglass plastic used for the actual rudder.   According to what I was able to find the creator linked the rudder to his foot pegs for steering,

Finally for my 3rd. NIFTY NOTEABLES is 

ZEPHYR SELF-INFLATING PFD

Are you looking for an alternative to traditional life jackets will love the NRS Zephyr Self-Inflating PFD. It's lightweight, easy to wear and inflates instantly to float you high.

• This lightweight self-inflating PFD provides 15.5 lbs. of flotation and meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements. 
• The compact, adjustable ripstop nylon waist pack stays out of your way for SUP or surfing.
• A simple tug on the cord instantly inflates the PFD with pressurized C02 gas.
• Unlike many other self-inflating life jackets, the flotation chamber stays around your waist.
• Simply rotate the belt until the chamber faces forward, pull the inflation cord and secure the attachment strap over your head.
