that is one reason in NZ they have a law that you must have a bright colored flag on your kayak. Don't know that it would have helped in this instance but being seen is pretty important in high traffic areas.

I'm always looking out for those boaters... I cannot trust that they see us paddling in front of them. So I paddle out of their way all the time. Better safe than sorry. In the incident of the kayaker from down under, I'm glad all turn out alive and in good condition. Fcuk a beer! you owe me a new boat and some extra for the pain and suffering.

Holy Crap. Maybe I have a too vivid imagination but I can easily picture that mutilated kayak replaced by a body. There's a closed casket afair. I know this was macho Australia, but a post crash change of clothes, a beer, and ride to the dock seams a bit slim on the restitution. How about a day in court, huge fines, monitary restitution, and maybe a bit o time in jail. Or seeing that this was in Australia, at least a major beat down in the marina parking lot.

I rode a bike on my commute commute for years and have the same defensive attitude on my kayak. I just assume they dont see me. Mike

I agree....that's why I fly Old Glory. Its not the brighest of flags but it is visible from a good distance.

Love the Idea for the ol' glory flag!

The pole was originally from some landscaping company, at least that's what it looked like based on the old flag that was on it. It's only as thick as a ballpoint point and is made of fiberglass so it will flex quite a bit.

here's a link for you
