Harrison Windsports Society

A site for windsurfers and kiteboarders that sail at Harrison Lake, BC, Canada

Brighten up?

We were at the beach the other day when a couple of friendly RCMP officers stopped to mention that boaters have occasionally had difficulty seeing kiters and windsurfers when they are wearing a dark wetsuit and sailing a dark kite or sail.

For more visibility, consider wearing a bright colored PFD, or perhaps a bright colored rashguard shirt over your wetsuit.

One thought on “Brighten up?

  1. Why don’t they lower the Breakwater so there is better visability. With a brighter background the black suits will be more visible! Other option is that the kiters could sail naked and they would be brighter. Randy , whatcha think about that option!
