Let's be honest, how many of us have headed out on the water without wearing a life jacket or buoyancy aid because it feels too bulky or gets in the way?

Whether you're rowing, kayaking or on a SUP, freedom of movement makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, that's often the reason safety equipment gets left behind.

The Spinlock ALTO is a clever alternative. Worn around your waist like a belt, it stays out of the way while you train but is there if you ever need it, inflating to provide flotation in an emergency.
It's not about expecting something to go wrong. It's about making it easier to choose safety without compromising your session.

Sometimes the best piece of kit is the one you'll actually wear.

Have you tried the ALTO? We'd love to hear what you think.

Stay safe, stay compliant, and stay connected on the water! 🚤📻

Our interactive VHF course makes it easy to learn the correct use of marine VHF radios through engaging lessons and real-world scenarios. You'll gain the knowledge needed to operate a marine VHF radio confidently, understand emergency procedures, and meet the legal requirements for using a VHF radio.

To gain the RYA Short Range Certificate (SRC), you'll need to complete the practical assessment and exam after finishing the online course. The exam fee is payable directly to the RYA, and we're pleased to facilitate the assessment at our Putney base at a time that suits you.

Get in touch to book your course and take the next step towards becoming a confident and legally compliant VHF radio operator. 🌊⚓
