A vast majority of the fish you catch will not be close enough to your yak that they could tell what color it is. For a 10yo I would recommend a high vis color too. The only differences I have noticed is that the darker colors absorb a little more sunlight (get warmer). And the bright colors can cause a little blurring in videos on sunny days.

Not completely related to this topic but in a round about way it is.
With all the issues of seals/seal lions I wonder if anyone has ever tried painting Eye Spots on their Yaks. LIke they do on airplanes to avoid bird strikes. In the animal world, big eyes looking at you can be intimidating to some species. Not sure if it would have any effect on the Seals/Sea Lions but you never know. I just purchased a blue Cobra Fish N Dive and was contemplating an old Flying Tigers mouth on the front just for giggles. Wonder if one of our local Great Whites will try and mate with it. Kidding of course. |

 I agree.. I'll at least psychologically feel better if my son is kayaking solo on the Mini-X in some high-vis color.. so if he likes the neon LIME.. why the heck not. I like the eye ball idea.. why not just paint it like a giant great white, including foaming jaws and giant teeth!! |

I ride a bright green Malibu which I bought used. Im not a real big fan of the color but as a plus there are no reports that the tax man has tried to collect on a lime green kayak.
