Donald Ducking (shirt and no bottom) and a cap help prevent sunburn from the water reflection for me.

Been a long time since I've seen or heard of Donald Duck so it took a second to sink in. But THAT is funny! lol! ... and it's definitely going onto my Naturist Terminology List ;-)

Once away from public launch area its naked. I accordion fold an old towel beside my seat in case of "errant fishermen". I once had to use the towel while chatting with a youth group out canoeing! It wasn't all that hot but I was sweating!I do wear a broad brimmed hat to protect just my ears and face!

Sunglasses, sunscreens, hat and water shoes unless close to civilization. PFF attached to the tie downs on the kayak unless in known rough water

Yes, I often paddle naked. Most of my boats are sit-in styles and unless others are somehow elevated, they can't really see anything. The group I paddle with knows that when I separate myself from the bunch, that I'll be naked and they can join me or not as they are inclined.

i usually wear a speedo leaving my dry clothes in the car ,rolled over a few times so why not be prepared and easier when launch canoe or yak and once away from ramp and view i can sometimes get nude.

I'm a sea kayaker so paddle with PFD, usually a cagoule as well, plus speedos and shorts. Have to use a spray deck too. Conditions are changeable here and it can get rough.

So I think it depends on the location - lots of sun and flat water and I can ditch the spray deck, but in most cases I use kayaking as a means to get myself away from the crowds to remote spots where I can then camp, hike or run nude.
