Buoyancy Bags

These little beauties are all about safety and ease of rescue.

Any time your paddling a kayak without dual bulkheads some there you feel you may capsize and swim from your boat, you really should have Buoyancy bags. Typically we are pretty lax in Australia about safety, but the rets of the world use these religiously.

They serve multiple purposes:
Reduction in the amount of water that can fill a kayak, making it lighter and easier empty.
Increased Buoyancy making the boat float high making it easier to rescue.
In moving water situations like whitewater - they reduce the weight and thus momentum of the craft, making them less dangerous to those in the water rescuing the craft and less likely to damage the kayak itself.

They come in multiple sizes to suit different craft and and locations in the boat, such as bow or stern. you can put a bigger diameter bag into a smaller space and it will fill the space and secure itself against the side - there are also tie down eyelets to use if the bag doesnt fill the area securely.

Size guide - it does vary but a good guide:
65cm - Bows of most kayaks
85cm - Bows of larger kayaks, sterns of smaller kayaks such as river runners and small slalom boats
95cm - the most versatile, sterns of larger boats, creeker kayaks and larger slalom boats.
You can use a single to aid buoyancy - generally done in kayaks with a dividing support in the rear so it fills 1/2 the total stern or bow, ideally use two in bow and two in stern for the best result with or without divider.
