So which pocket on your wetsuit or boardies does everyone plan stashing their four flares and epirb now with the new safety rules. I couldn't find anywhere.

Recommendations aren't they

Recommendations aren't they

Not any more they are requirements

Only a requirement if more than 400 meters off shore.
Less than that is a recommendation of a life jacket


Non-registrable vessels
Non-registrable vessels include sailboards, kiteboards, windsurfers, paddle craft, tenders and sailing dinghies. These vessels do not need to be registered with DoT.In protected watersWhen operating in rivers, lakes, dams, estuaries, harbours and waters within 400 metres from the shore in the ocean it is recommended you carry a lifejacket (Level 50s or higher) for each person on board.

In unprotected watersWhen operating more than 400 metres from shore in the ocean in unprotected waters:A lifejacket (Level 50S or higher) must be worn by everyone on board vessels less than 4.8 metres.You must carry an EPIRB or wear a PLB. You have until 1 September 2028 to upgrade to a GPS-enabled EPIRB or PLB.You must carry at least 2 handheld red flares and 2 handheld orange flares. Parachute flares may be used instead of the red handheld but only until 1 September 2026. Electronic Visual Distress Signals (EVDS) may be carried instead of flares only if a GPS-enabled EPIRB is carried or GPS-enabled PLB is worn.It is recommended you carry a marine radio, when operating more than 4 nautical miles from shore.
27MHz radios are being phased out by 1 September 2028 and will no longer be compliant.

was thinking about this the other day wave-kiting up at Lancelin. Using the distance guide on google maps, looks like most of the reefs up that way are more than 400m off the beach..... :|

According to the national bureau of meteorology and also..I believe the prophecies of nostradamus
And according to the scriptures from the ancient lands of lemuria and Atlantis ...
All reeflines around this island will move by geological tectonic algorhythms to a perfect distance of just 375-400m offshore and equate with the distance of...yes ....lancelin .....by the year 2029

After the year 2025 when baba Yanga has cited that humans could be completely in touch with aliens and the Elon Musk tesla car no longer reverses into 'other tesla cars'...
Then the new formation of tectonic plates reestablishing all these reeflines and bommies to exactly 399m from the shore should happen.

That means the kite island hopping around Albany/Cervantes/thev and things like that will all shift and be slightly more monotonous and boring

I got this from the source from tapping into the red dragon in Mayan astrology ..

Or put them in your beanie

Hmmmmm, Amazon has these on special ATM
