When paddling I usually have the camera stowed under the forward deck where direct splashes will not reach it. I also have drip rings on the kayak paddle so that water will not run down the paddle shaft to my hands (or into the kayak). The kayak is also a fairly "dry" model, even in rough water, and I rarely take the camera with me unless the water is very calm. Thanks for looking, and commenting!
