Very innovative to say the least! Your remarkable use of the color pallet is quite rare! Your expressed talent is an an inspiration to most. By the way, most boating accidents are caused by operator error. ie, inexperience,lack of knowlege, lack of any skills, the list goes on. I don't care if your kayak is bright red with an American flag 20'x30' rising above, if boat operator does not see you for any reason ur toast. Please do not feel confident that a boat operator is going to see you, it is not always the case. Don't become a statistic because you feel safe in a bright colored kayak.

I treat everyone, as if they don't know what they are doing and can't see me. That said if the coast guard is ever looking for me it will be easier for them to find me with the green topsides as long as the things upright, and I do think bright colored Kayaks can aid in search in rescue type operations, as they are simply easier for planes and choppers to see.
