2:12 " When your paddle snaps in half from your weight and you fall backwards into the rocky water, try to crawl back to shore despite your many injuries. Once back on shore, rest quietly and starve to death while your Kayak floats away"

The way he puts his weight on the middle of the paddle lol

@jkutyna 2 года назад

I'm in total agreement here. This may be ok if you're a tiny person, or have a cheapo paddle. I am 6'5" and I would NEVER put my weight onto my carbon fiber paddle like that. I wouldn't even do it on the cheapo 40$ paddle for that matter.

@aidand5941 Год назад

Was gonna say essentially the same thing. I'm over 6' and 250+ seriously doubt I'm using my paddle as an outrigger and it remains undamaged.

Of all the videos for entering a kayak this one gives the most variety of situations and choices. What works best for one person is not the same for another :)

people always ask me how I get onto my kayak, and I never know exactly what to tell them. This video helped explain it well.

Need to do this with older people. It is not too easy with wonky knees.

@aremedyproject9569 5 лет назад

Slimy algae on the concrete or rocks makes it extra fun.

@stueightfish1216 10 лет назад

I've 30 years of kayaking experience, never sit on your paddle. It will break and if you slip/loose grip and float off downstream through a grade 5 with a broken paddle it will end badly. A carbon shaft costs £150+ Keep it for paddling not sitting on. Rest it across the front within reach of the cockpit so it can be grabbed once your deck is on. With durable modern plastic boats the seal launch is the safest way to go.

@tranquility9325 6 лет назад

Stu eightfish I agree it's not the smartest way to enter a Kayak. It might be taught routinely but that doesn't make it any less unwise. It's better to grip onto the rim of both sides of the coaming then put one foot in followed by the other.

If you're interested in learning the proper technique for the 3 most important kayaking strokes, watch one of my latest videos at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JXYTEar5j6Y.html

@DJMichaelAngelo 6 лет назад

@1:56 = this is GENIUS!!!! omg exactly the tip I was looking for! I have some river frontage where the shore is these rocks that are kinda like this (but smaller) -- there's no beach, no sand, no grass, nothing but these big wet stones :( I've struggled getting into and especially OUT of the kayak the few times that I've taken it out for a paddle -- I'm gonna try the tip in this video and see if it works! hopefully the oar I bought it strong/strudy enough and won't break when I try to use it to support my body weight, that worries me a little bit....

@jkutyna 2 года назад

Genius until you've snapped a few paddles in half.

@Rick_Schott 11 лет назад

These are relatively easy with these sit-on-top and large cockpit, rec boats. Getting into a touring or sea kayak with a smaller cockpit is a different animal, especially if you have long legs. One reason I've come to love my single-seat canoe, even though it's a lot slower than my long boat.

@curlyQmay3 12 лет назад

Thank you for this!!! This is the greatest challenge for me. Knew that I needed to consult the experts. Will explore and learn from your other videos.

It pays to learn these techniques. I slid mine in too many times and now I've had to make several repairs to the underneath side of the stern by welding plastic.

@turkeytrailhoneybeefarmgeo6292 5 лет назад

Oh. And another thing. Don't break your $300 paddle using it as a outrigger.

@avacadovich 3 года назад

Spending that much buys a carbon fibre paddle that is unbreakable.

@dananorth895 Год назад

Didn't help the Titanic did it?

@4-MinuteMiles 5 лет назад

every single one of these kayaks was very open or sit-on. I would like to see one in a tighter-fitting opening, where you can't simply fold your knees and slide your legs in after you sit. Both Kayaks I have require you to slide your feet in first - meaning you need to sit on top. One is a poly, and one is a wooden one. More than once, I have awkwardly fallen in the water either getting in or out. Paddle outrigger works, but really hard on a 2-pc paddle.

@MissingLinkMTB 3 года назад

Me getting in from dock: calmly and slowly get into kayak and sit down. Bobble to one side, overcorrect and bobble to the other side, rinse repeat until I'm upside down and kayak is completely filled with water. Get hapless onlooker to help get boat out, drain water, rinse and repeat.

@sherievans2617 3 года назад

Anyone thought of making a easy outrigger system that can be clamped on & off the kayak /canoe easily and stored? 3 rods in a light weight material such as aluminium, bamboo, wood might do , 2 rods that firm the parallel sides would attach to the kayak with strong clamps, and a cross bar would join the parallel bars, making a u-shape. At the point on connection, 2 floats would be mounted or attached . I think the floats could be any lightweight object like plastic water bottles. The join between the parallel bars and the cross bar could be an ‘L’ shape screw in system, or a split pin arrangement. It’d have to be easy to put together, dismantle and store. It wouldn’t necessarily be needed every time, but could help stabilise things when there’s high wind, waves and unstable landing spots. Just a thought. And yes, breaking the paddle by sitting on it might become an expensive exercise, both monetarily and life threatening if you’re a long way from help or a store.

@peter4210 6 лет назад

once I tough I had hit the beach hard enough but when I stood up it tilted slightly and with a wet sandal, I slip and hit myself in the face with the paddle. Dint fall over tought, but din't look cool

@jkutyna 2 года назад

I would never ever ever try that last method where you use the paddle to stabilize, putting all of your weight onto it. Excellent way to break a 500$ carbon fiber paddle in the middle.

@GaryGrzybek 11 лет назад

Bracing the paddle on the rocks made me cringe. Would you do that with a $400 carbon paddle?

@kirk2459 6 лет назад

I do it with my $500 carbon paddle all the time, you are not sitting on the paddle shaft or the blade only bracing your boat with it. A good paddle is made to be used not put in a glass case over the fireplace only to view how shiny it is.

@GooshawnXD 5 лет назад

@@kirk2459 Do you really? I've just upgraded my kayak & paddle, I was considering bringing my old paddle for manuvers like this and using my new one just for rowing. I've spent the last decade on a sit on top recreational and have just gotten a sit in touring... Your paddle has held up to this?

@user-sx4yu3nw4j 4 года назад

Be more flexible

@murfleblurg 12 лет назад

Vital point not mentioned here is to put your weight on the center line of the hull, right over the keel line, and practice (on land) the little movement you have to make to get that foot out of the way as your bum is about to hit the seat. You can get away with putting your feet "just anywhere" in a wide, stable boat, but any hull will seem unpredictable if your weight isn't centered, and a skinny boat just won't let you get away with it.

Never have your kayak horizontal to the shoreline when you launch .... The waves will toss you and your kayak up against the rocks and most likely capsize you..

Videos: "To get into your kayak from a high dock; 1) get help, 2) float kayak, step in, move your weight directly above the kayak, and as low as possible, 3) risk your paddle" Dutch Kayak Exams: "OK to pass you need to; get in on the high dock, then hop your kayak into the water, either without flipping or flipping yourself back with a couple of seconds"

Using a paddle as an outrigger is a bad idea lol. Most people starting out have a cheap paddle where it could snap like a twig.

@WildOutdoorLiving 11 лет назад

There is a much easier way to get in off of the dock. I'm no expert but I find it extremely easy to sit down on the dock first, put one hand on the dock one on the outside of the kayak and then just slide in. Same with getting out again.

@anonymous-ir3tf 3 года назад

Pushing off with your bare hands in the sand can be dangerous. No way to tell what might be hidden - glass, sharp rock, clam shell, metal shard etc. Best to wear gloves if you plan on doing that.

@tranquility9325 6 лет назад

A lot of so called experts teach ppl to do it this way. Do not put your weight on your paddle. It's awkward as hell, can break your paddle, and it's just plain stupid. You can hold on to both sides of the boat, lower your center of gravity, and get in slowly. It's a lot easier to do it from land as opposed to a dock, but not impossible. If your smart you will NOT do it this way.
