The minimum legal requirements for sea kayaking in South African waters are the wearing of a pfd and having flares. In addition, craft need to carry enough buoyancy to float if flooded. Independent sea kayakers are welcome to submit their views and proposals to TASKS, The African Sea Kayak Society. TASKS is a web-based forum for sea kayakers in Africa and is well-positioned to disseminate information and numbers to paddlers. TASKS/RECSKASA made a substantial contribution to safety requirements for sea kayaking as set by SAMSA in Marine Notice No. 13 of 2006. Views would be appreciated at info@seakayak.co.za . Difficulties currently with registering craft, joining clubs, obtaining numbers etc may all be mentioned so that the current situation can be evaluated.
