The Coastguard Boating Education from New Zealand has recently unveiled a new Online Kayak Safety Module to go along with the many other safety courses they offer.

The new safety online mini-course is a flashed based program designed to help new paddlers to make good decisions before getting on the water. The topics covered include weather, choosing appropriate gear and communications equipment.

On the whole, I’m quite pleased with the way that it is put together. It’s focused on beginner kayakers so it’s pretty rudimentary but that is ok. It’s a very good start with the focus on what is really important for new paddlers, prevention and risk management.
