I love this!! Finally, instructions that make sense and are to the point without endless yacking.

Excellent video for those of us who have high performance carbon paddles and fiberglass kayaks, both of which are more susceptible to abrasion damage.

Excellent, I use some of your methods too. The last one I've yet to try. Thanks.
@patmalone42622 жыл бұрын
An additional benefit to the methods you show is that they don't require as much upper body strength and strain on the shoulders as some commonly shown techniques.

Awesome...good advice. I just so happen to be moving to Belfast in a few months and will be taking us Sea Kayaking. This was the first video i opened on the subject...hmmm. See you there!

Is there a paddle-friendly method to get in and out of a lightweight composite kayak with a short coaming? Like a wildwater racing boat, whose cockpit is way shorter than most people's thigh bones, but the deck can't carry the weight of an adult.

That straddle method is more difficult on the wider kayaks.
@wonderswedste1789 Жыл бұрын
Straddle is meant for touring boats, which are narrower, not recreational or fishing yaks.

Hi Ray, Good video. Could you do one about getting out of a kayak at the dock where the dock is higher than the kayak?

That was great but what scenario would warrant you getting out in a hurry like that?
@touringkayaks3 жыл бұрын
Participating in a kayak race is one such scenario. Coming ashore on a beach -- and trying to get out before the next wave comes in -- is another. Sorry not to respond sooner. Thanks for viewing!

It works if you're tall, I am not unfortunately. Hopefully I won't break my paddle.

Isn't that why he suggested the alternative "sidesaddle" dismount?
@tranquility93257 жыл бұрын
This is a great vid but I wish someone would show how to get in and out of an inflatable boat rather always a hard side boat. Inflatables are trickier due to their buoyancy.

@capitalgaming4567 Well, using your logic, if I'm driving and I can't see the lane I'm in due to excessive fog, I should get rid of my car. Smh.

@capitalgaming4567 it is the same, just using a different scenario. Are you bored today? Is that why you are antagonistic towards ppl online? I suggest getting a hobby.
