Thank you for the video it is very helpful. I am starting to kayak at 71 and it poses some challenges for an older body. Having said that...I believe you are never too old and it's never too late. Your videos help to build my confidence and make me excited about trying it.

Thanks so much for this video. I'm a 5'1" low muscle mass 58 year old female and practiced this today on Lake Superior with 15" waves and wind on a cloudy day in order to see if i could do it in a unnerving situation all by myself. I figured if I could do it in Lake Superior I can do it in flat water cold lake. I struggled a bit and used a slightly different body lift because I'm so short and weak, but the paddle float outrigger totally worked. I did it twice in a row. I wouldn't kayak in those conditions but needed to do it in a unnerving environment so I don’t panic or give up during a real capsize. I do lots of sports solo in remote areas so I need to be able to take care of myself.

Very nice demonstrations of these three basic rescues. I especially appreciated your acknowledgment that not everyone has the upper-body strength of a fit man. I am a 77-year-old woman who has been sea kayaking in a touring boat for about 40 years. I've had my Pygmy Coho for 25+ years. Thousands of miles later, I am still paddling. But I've had to adopt new techniques as time marched on for me. The heel hook is a great rescue for women who can't just heft themselves up on the deck. You might consider a video of strategies for launch, landing, getting the water out of a boat during rescue, and other tips for older kayakers.

A couple of things; Keep a pair of swim fins in your hold bc they make swimming to the nearby shore a lot easier Use a paddle leash Have an extra paddle on board ; I like using Yak Clips to attach my paddle to my cockpit You don't have to empty the boat ;in fact a flooded kayak is much easier to get into Keep 25'of polypro rope on /in your boat It is critically important to the rest of your life that you stay with your boat

My first kayak was a Perception Conduit 12.0; it didn't have a forward bulkhead either So I went to walmart and bought the largest inflatable bumper that would fit in the space , tied a 25'rope to the bumper , used a 'biner to clip the rope into the grab handle that is just forward of my cockpit and paddled away a happy man ,

Please don't paddle this boat until you have installed flotation for bow & stern!
@karlandersson3119
@karlandersson3119 Год назад
Rescuing a swimmer using a boat without sufficient flotation (in bow AND stern) is an advanced rescue skill. More to the point, cheap boats that don't have it built in is up to the user to add proper flotation. Or work on very advanced skills.

Practicing rescues makes it a lot more automatic and a stress-free situation when the real thing happens. While I've practiced it dozens and dozens of times, I've only used a rescue a couple times so far. One was a vacationing family from Europe at a provincial park; they flipped their canoe, and that one ended up being really tricky because only one of them remotely understood English. The other was on a paddle with my father on Big Creek (Ontario, Canada). The creek has a pretty strong flow to it and when stopped for lunch, he leaned over too far to reach around for his cooler. Current pushed him up a bit against a tree root in a way he didn't expect and over he went. I just talked him through it while I held his boat and got him back on. Telling folks to paddle forward and sort of leap _over_ their deck while pulling the kayak under them is a HUGE thing to remember for anyone who's not tried it before.

@jimmoos2557 Год назад
First, your Mom is gorgeous. Instruction is excellent. The key is to get out of an inverted yak and get to the surface and breathe. Practice is so essential, but, should you go over, you will not be as prepared to rescue yourself. So, avoid big waves and swirls if possible. Self rescue in slop is extremely hard. Again, great video. Jim

This video is a great example of how a properly worn PFD makes the re-entry process so much easier. You have time to think about the situation verses just concentrating on treading water. And the rocker on your mom’s boat is eye catching.

Good video, Thank you! I am a member of Team River Runner that provides kayaking opportunities for wounded/disabled veterans and their families. My particular chapter primarily does flatwater paddling using Dagger Zydeco recreational kayaks, no bulkheads. We have found that using techniques developed for skin-on-frame kayaks, which also don't have bulkheads, work well for rec kayaks too. An X-rescue can be done with significant assistance from the swimmer to get the flooded kayak on top of the bow of the assisting kayak, or the H-rescue gets the flooded kayak drained very quickly if there are 2 rescuers available. After that the swimmer uses the heel hook method or the cowboy scramble to get back in the kayak. If you are able to fit these into your next rescue video, that would be a great service to the multitude of recreational kayakers.

My friend & I each have a SOT. I picked up a CK1 (thanks to your review), she has a Pelican Sentinel. This past weekend, we were in a river & she was talking to someone behind us & dumped herself in. The woman behind us stopped to help along with 2 other guys. It was quite the ordeal getting it flipped back over & her on it again. She was in full panic during it all. A video of SOT rescues would be really helpful!

I remember the first time I flipped my Moken 10. All I could think of was the huge alligator warning sign at the boat launch. Gators are generally non aggregative but when you are floating in water over your head you wonder about that. I had to use my Coleman cooler with my foot to boost me over the edge onto the kayak. I determined later while practicing that it is easier to crawl on to the bow from directly in front of the kayak as the bow will partially submerge as you move on to it.

Just stumbled across your video. My wife and I have been Kayaking for over 25 years. Mostly Georgian Bay, small lakes in Ontario. We have a 22ft Boreal Mingene, a 2 seater. I never knew how that float worked for rescue. Always had one on the Kayak though along with a pump. We've never used any rescue technique as we've never flipped but now we'll be ready. Thanks for this video. We're both retired and near 70. Nice you can do this with your Mum. Bless you both.

Thank you my friend, your videos are the best and gets me more excited and safer about kayaking. I rolled yesterday with 125 lbs of camping gear in some rapids and just refreshing things I could do better, #1 being don't mix camping and rapids. Rapids do present a much different situation and the water was only a couple feet deep at most. The biggest fear was traveling outside the boat and hitting a rock, as my body was going at a pretty good rate. My solution for fixing the situation was to find a rock, beach the yak, catch my breath and think clearly. The biggest problem at that point is my paddle was lost. A leash would be wise for the yakking I do. I was also in bare feet and learned that could be a safety issue as you get no grip on the rocks under the water. Water shoes may be as valuable as a PFD. I am gonna search your videos for situations like mine and see if you have any great advice. Again, your videos rock. I was on the Potomac River in Harper's Ferry, WV
@brianswiger9390
@brianswiger9390 Год назад
On a positive note, I had bought a kayak you reviewed- the feelfree Junitos. Being a sit on top with scupper holes, it worked as designed and the water drained immediately, solving one of the many problems in that situation.
@JonasAlexanderson
@JonasAlexanderson Год назад
A very good and instructive video.👍👍 Doing the self rescue with the paddle float the way you do it can be risky for the paddle blade on the kayak. I broke a paddle that way very early in my paddling career. It's better to keep it lose on the deck of the kayak, even if its a bit more difficult, less risk of breaking the paddle. Recently I had some customers and showed how to do the heel hock rescue on the shore before going out. A few hours later one of the guys tipped over and in no time I had him back in the kayak again. He was in a kayak for the first time, not a young and slim guy but he said it was very easy. You might want to do a follow up video doing a rescue wit a fully loaded kayak. A lot heavier to empty the kayak, I usually need to bring the kayak higher up on deck.

We purchased Old Town Loon 120’s as our starter boats and we love them (so do our pups)! Now that we are comfortable paddling in them, we will be practicing our water rescue using these techniques. Thanks for all of your videos they really helped us get started confidently on the water!

Good video and really nice kayak by the way. I have a new Stellar Falcon that I really enjoy. One thing I think it's worth mentioning is that you should always have the boat downwind from you when you're trying to get in. I've seen too many people try to get back in boats with the wind and current pushing it over the top of them.

Was kayaking yesterday with my boyfriend and his friend. BF has a deep sit in, friend has a shallow sit in.. and mine is top.. the friend had a heart attack and went head first in the water.. this was my first time truly kayaking.. I had to jump in and pull him up..thank God he came to so I didn't have to provide cpr but was unable to have a solid grip because his jacket wasn't zipped.. nobody would assist us for about 25 minutes.. finally another kayak towed me in while my BFF towed in his friend and my kayak.. we now plan on having practice sessions on different situations..

He then positioned my kayak bow to his stern allowing a gap for to me float into I then got both feet into my cockpit while supporting my arms on both kayaks. It was a lot easier then I anticipated and worked a treat.

I'm paddling a lifetime guster and a tamarack. I had to self rescue myself from my neighbors pool!!. Actually.. from watching you videos on stability and different kayak options I got nominated to do testing. Me and 2 friends were going on a 4 hour kayak trip in NJ (that turned into 6 hours) and my one friends who had an inflatable that popped wanted to decide what hard kayak was easier to get into if you tipped over and more stable for paddling. So I was told to do a tip test and self rescue. While him and the other friend watched. It wasn't easy and for sure a bulge pump is important. Once I got back back the sit in it was soooo unstable. I tipped right back out. The more I tipped the more water was in this sit in as it has no bulk heads so it took a lot!!! Of water. The sit on was harder to flip but easier to get into and paddle away... Even though it actually tipped easier . Probably something newer people to the hobby should do is self rescue and test stability out before going out onto the water I was shocked as I'm in really good shape. Flipping that tamaraipro over was a nightmare and getting back into my guster and going right out the other side caused panic even in a Pool with multiple people around. Keep the videos coming day and that you for getting my family into the hobby

Just like teaching basic strokes, it's best to first to start in calm water. Unfortunately people capsize more often in rough water. We used to go out in rough conditions and practice rescuse. What you can get by with in calm water, often will not work in 3 foot seas. It's good to know your limitations. Great video

👍 Hi Mom 👋 Thanks for the video Dan…yet another great teaching video. 👊 I have an Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL that I would dearly love to see how to get back in. It is a beast sit on top. Happy paddling or in my case pedaling 😎

As a canoiest the first think u should do is to stay calm and flip your boat to make sure the water doesn't enter the boat to prevent it from sinking 👍👍

My guy and I (in our 60's) just bought 2 Tucktec kayaks to carry in our RV. I know they aren't as sturdy as a regular kayak but it's nice to know basic rescue.

Great video. I have been working toward my state instructor cert at our local lake and your demonstrations are right on. Glad I found your channel.

Thanks for the feedback. there is lots of other quality ways to do this and in rough water situation I would probably modify this but I hope it gets the point across.

I’m currently using sea Eagle 393Rl. First I watched the demo from sea eagle. I’m much older than the person giving the demo. His method I couldn’t do due to medical reasons. But with practice I found a method that did. I think the key here is quite simply practice. Oh and not just once and call it good.

Thank you for the great advice; I’m here because I tried kayaking for the first time today with my husband; his first also. He flipped his kayak in the middle of the lake somehow. It was crazy. He was hanging onto one side and the opposite side was kicking out of the water. I circled to the kicked up side and held it done while he slid back in. It was I have no idea what to do moment but knew we had to figure it out. Now I know better ways thanks to your videos!!

Nice!! Men may win in upper body strength but we are super flexible!! Never see that type of rescue before..heel hook..interesting!

Hi! I recently took a kayaking course and wanted to review rescues. You demonstrated precisely what I learned during our open water sessions. Thank you! I’ve looked at a lot of vids and this is the best one, by far. 😊
