On a kayak SPOT has worked flawlessly for me, however if you read reviews online there seem to be alot of folks that have problems getting messages out. A very very clear view of the sky seems to be very very necessary.

I have the SPOT mainly for its tracking feature, and the slow pace of a kayak on open water is probably the most ideal environment you could use this thing in.

I definitely would not think of SPOT to replace a more dedicated PLB, albeit they are a whole lot cheaper.
