WaterKiteTM Safety and Rescue is a Canadian pioneer in the field of swift water rescue equipment. In response to the growing frequency and danger of floods and other swift water rescue challenges, WaterKiteTM Safety and Rescue has recently developed "Guidable Floatation Device" technology, a remarkable innovation in the field of swift water rescue.
