X3 for what Tony said.
What may look fine on the outside (slight rust) can break from the inside out, like an old Camaro, and boom…you're paddling.
I carry a spare chain that can work for either side, and a 7/16? 9/16? wrench to fix on the water. I don't carry the "equalizer" chain as I can still make it back to shore without the sides being balanced.
Carry a good spare paddle, and on a mellow day go practice without your gear, landings. Learn how to control the kayak, especially the PA's.
Again, like Tony said, anything can break as it's a machine that is submerged in one of the most brutal environments on the planet…salt water.
