Getting IN your kayak - without tipping in

[@Fishaholicboy]

Great tips! I always do research on access points also. I haven’t tried getting in a kayak from a platform.. doesn’t look easy

Thanks for the positive comment. Yes, a high side entry can be tricky. It's all about balance - and of course, practice!

Good tips 👍I’ve always fancied doing a seal launch but never had the confidence 😂

All good advice as always. Most of my paddling is sea paddling so less of a problem, launching from the shore line. Occasionally I do practice seal launching off a rock, just to keep my hand in.

@@bobp5885 Give it a go! Try off a small grass bank first. Keep momentum on the kayak and it will be fine. Not like this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/boCunneMpr6GrK8si=2U-ftckWXi_J24m5&t=785

​@@bobwolfe5342 Thanks for the positive comment Bob. Good to hear of your experiences. Launching off sand can be hard work if you don't time it right with the waves. All too painful memory for me! Take care.
