Bright pink? That's awesome! :-D

I had a hot pink cast on my wrist for several months last year, and I've fallen in love with it. Before then, I enjoyed all of the pinks in nature, but not to the same extent I now do.

I'm now tempted to color my boat a hot pink (maybe accent it with another color). In my yellow vest, I'll look like a giant starburst candy or something. LOL.

: The online surfski community recently had a discussion on this subject after
: a long swim by a paddler whose white boat was not seen for several hours.
: The conclusion was that bright pink was the most visible color on the open
: sea, followed by yellow. This follows my subjective experience. White and
: black boats require careful observation to spot. Subtle colors may make
: beautiful boats, but can blend into the background of chop. For the
: easiest spotting, you want a color that pops the boat from its
: surroundings. I thought my bright yellow ski was rather garish when I
: bought it used last year, but I've grown to love it and value its
: visibility.

: Also, remember that the hull my be the most exposed part of the boat in an
: emergency and you should consider its visibility as well as just the deck.
