You will also have somebody nearby to encourage you if you start to feel at all discouraged. For that reason, if you never paddle alone, you'll probably be better able to go kayaking without getting discouraged and stopping. This is a good thing to keep in mind if you are going to be kayaking in an area where
going might get a little rough -
last thing you want is to be stuck somewhere alone, and not want to continue.
Finally, and most obviously, never paddle alone is told as a general rule because it is
best way to make sure that you will be safe when you are kayaking. In addition to this, however, you should make sure that other people who are not accompanying you on your trip also know where you will be kayaking. That way if anything happens,
emergency teams will know where to look for you.
However, if you make sure that you never paddle alone, then chances are good you'll be able to have a safe, fun time on
water.
