Safety

SAFETY
A very important issue for us is safety, and that is why our equipment is of a very good quality. We possess a good knowledge of the area and information on the places we visit, we always take precaution for the weather conditions and we use varied rescue techniques, which I learned in the ASSC in Wales. But it is not only in our tours that we care about safety., which is why we only rent our kayaks to people with experience in more extreme conditions. Most of the time there are no problems at all, but we must not forget that the ocean is stronger than we are, and it is necessary to accept our limitations and to understand that sometimes we are the ones that must retreat wehn the weather conditions go beyond our capacity and strength. Accordingly, we seek to advice the people who decide to carry out a trip independently as much as we can. Given our experience on the subject, we are sure we can be of much help.
