Lost (or stolen ...) green Prodigy Perception kayak

While this won't help you, after the loss, the Coast Guard supposedly has 'Operation Paddle Smart' orange, waterproof, identification stickers designed to be placed within kayaks, paddle boards, and small boats that are available for free to state agencies like the Marine Patrol, or Fish & Game for free distribution to the public.

Have I ever seen one? No, but I have seen an image of one by googling 'Coast Guard kayak sticker.'

Seems like a good idea...... an ounce of prevention.....is worth a pound of something .....how does that go? ......by writing your name and phone with a waterproof marker onto the waterproof Coast Guard sticker, or something? .....unless, it was stolen, with subsequent razor blade removal of aforementioned Coast Guard sticker by kayak thief ....... not a nice thing to do!
