Watch 127 Hours and then you will make sure to let people know where you are going.
I kited the SF Bay right by the Golden Gate Bridge a few weeks ago and had that feeling of unease as the nearest windsurfer was a good mile away. The conditions are harsh there with cold water, ship traffic, gusty variable wind and I don't want to even thing of toothy creatures. The locals advise on carrying a marine radio along with safety gear. Next time I am going to make sure I am kiting with a buddy as well. The first time I went I got separated from my board and fortunately a windsurfer brought it over to me.
After watching 127 hours my wife said "No more kiting the Bay by yourself."

If you can, make the first number in your contact your emergency number. Or write it down and put it in your pocket.

I got pulled up and landed on my head, I couldn't figure out how to work my phone.
I wanted to call my girlfriend, but every time I dialed I noticed I dialed my parent's number.
They are old and I didn't want to give them a heart attack by asking them to come take me to the ER.

Luckily, some kids came by and I told them who to find to call on my phone.
I always have my phone, always wear a helmet...
