I got to be in a safety video!
This is a short video on why a river boat isn’t safe to take out on open water, why a spray skirt is essential, and what happens without the right gear.

A sit on top is considered self bailing, so no skirt needed. The paddler sits above the waterline, and there are holes through to the underside of the boat.
Ah yip, I misunderstood your previous comment. Beginners tend to be in sit on top boats, so the issue with sea spray without a skirt doesn’t apply. However, it does happen occasionally, hence the safety video.
