Clear Kayak Safety & Care
Safe experiences begin before launching. Use CVKAYAK only in conditions appropriate for the product and follow all manufacturer instructions and local rules.
Personal safety
Every paddler should wear a properly fitted personal flotation device. Check weather, water depth, route, tide or current, launch and landing access, and local restrictions. Avoid open sea, strong current, high winds, and heavy surf unless expressly approved for the exact conditions.
Before every outing
Inspect the transparent hull, aluminum frame, two orange flotation airbags, four-point hanging fabric seats, straps, and attachment points. Stop use if any component is loose, damaged, missing, or inconsistent with the manufacturer instructions.
Protect the clear hull
Rinse after use according to the care instructions, avoid abrasive cleaners and sharp contact, and store the kayak where the clear surfaces are protected from avoidable damage.
Natural conditions
A transparent hull does not make murky water clear. Visibility, weather, and wildlife vary and are never guaranteed.
