Warm top

Hat
First aid kit
Drinking water
Emergency food (chocolate is our preferred choice)
Sunscreen
A way of towing your buddy if they get tired/seasick/injured.

A paddle leash is also wise as in windy conditions your kayak will float away from your paddle if you drop it in the water leaving you without a way to return home.
