regulations for canoes/kayaks under 3.50 metres
Is your canoe-kayak inflatable or rigid and is less than 3.50 metres? You have what is called a beach craft.
You must always stay within 300 metres of a shelter (any place on the coast where any craft or vessel and its crew can get to safety by anchoring or berthing, and set off again without assistance).
Buoyancy life vests are not mandatory but strongly recommended to make it easier to get back in the boat if you fall out.
regulations for canoes/kayaks over 3.50 metres
Your canoe/kayak is rigid or inflatable with at least 2 separate air chambers. It measures more than 3.50 metres. It is approved for sea use by the manufacturer.
You can paddle up to 2 nautical miles (approx. 3 km) from shore. You must carry a number of items of safety equipment.

How to inflate and position the floor of the kayak
Inflate the floor, then a side tube, then the second one to 50%. Check the positioning of the chambers. Then fully inflate it to a maximum pressure of 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Ensure the valves are properly closed.
DO NOT OVER INFLATE! Do not leave the inflated kayak in direct sunlight
In case of EXTREME HEAT, deflate the kayak slightly out of the water to avoid excess pressure that could damage it.
Install the three skegs, unless using on a river with a low water level.
What if the kayak is pierced?
In the event of damage to one of the side chambers, open the side tube lengthways using the zip and remove the chamber.
The floor can be uncovered by opening the rip-tab fastenings.
Example 1: the hole is in the side tube; you can use the repair kit to stick on a patch.
Example 2: the hole is located along a seam; contact the DECATHLON workshop service to exchange the faulty bladder (two-year warranty).
