Capsized, broken rig, no paddle - get spotted quickly in broad daylight
This miniature waterproof SpotMe Strobe from Exposure Lights, means sailors, paddlers and surfers can quickly and easily attract attention, if they are in difficulty.
This tiny light attaches to a buoyancy vest or harness strap. If you need to be seen, gripping it with one hand and squeezing turns it into an instant rapid flash Strobe light. There's far more chance that you'll get spotted as 'something' in the water with this bright flashing light.
With more people taking to the water, in everything from kayaks, SUPs, windsurfers and boats, managing your personal safety is key. The increasing speeds of foiling kites, windsurfers and dinghies, and now wing surfers, mean any impact from these craft can lead to a far more serious injury.
If you are in the water, you want the other users to see you - and fast! In broad daylight in the sea it can be incredibly difficult to spot a person in waves, even from a few boat lengths away.
