Consider one for yourself, your group with a designated radio operator, or for coastal SUP rental operations with intermittent mobile signal.
A mobile phone in a waterproof case is a good accessible communication option for many paddlers, but for those who already use them, you'll know that they can be hard to read in bright sunlight, hard to wake up through waterproof bags or with wet hands and can be impacted by signal coverage.
Many paddlers have raised the alarm to get help in difficult situations by dialling 999 to contact the emergency services asking for Coastguard when at Sea and Fire & Rescue when on inland waterways and they are a great tool for letting people know if you are due in later than expected or if you need a pick-up from a mid-route exit point, but it is a VHF radio that is recommended for all on-water users.
When it comes to leisure VHF's the Icom M25 is the go-to option. It ticks nearly every box for a high quality VHF transceiver (transmitter/receiver) for use on the coast or estuaries; it gives instant access to Channel 16 to contact the Coastguard, it's waterproof, it floats and flashes if you drop it in the water and lasts for 11 hours under heavy use.
