- Radio keys are sensitive to water; frequent hiding places such as on the front tyre are considered unsafe.
- Mobile key safes offer better protection, but can be tricky in terms of insurance law; conditions depend on the respective policy.

- Nose damage in windsurfing is usually caused by mast impact; protection is provided by nose protectors or mast deflection systems.
- Nose protectors range from expensive, lightweight carbon bonnets and GRP shells to inexpensive, self-adhesive or clip-on foam solutions.
- Surfbent and Unifibre nose protectors deflect the mast in front of the nose; holding on to the fork can further reduce the consequences of a skid.

- The HoverAir Aqua is a waterproof, buoyant C0 drone with a Lighthouse wristband that autonomously tracks water sports enthusiasts via GPS.  
- Its strengths include take-offs and landings on water, a ‘turtle’ mode and ease of use for beginners; Weaknesses include range, noise levels and short battery life.  
- Video quality is solid, but photo quality is poor; the high price and limited manual mode make it particularly suitable for close-up action videos of water sports.

- Tight spots due to precise wind forecasts and social media increase the risk of collisions, which is why more water sports enthusiasts are wearing head protection.  
- Modern water sports helmets are lightweight, absorb little water, come in different materials and shapes and must fit the size of the head exactly.
