Paddling at night is a lot of fun and a good way to build your kayak navigation skills. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of good options for lighting your compass for night navigation. In this short how-to video presented by Adventure Kayak magazine, Leon Sommé of Body Boat Blade International shows us a quick and easy modification for a lit compass that is easy, waterproof and portable. The red light also preserves night vision—this DIY deck mounted kayak compass setup even helped Leon through his BCU 5 star award!
