How to remount your surfski

[@chrisbeard9113]

It’s a lot like getting into the bathtub when you’re too drunk to stand up

I need to practice this skill. I have a Nelo510 i have never come off it yet but there will be a time. Im experienced kayaking but fairly green to surfski

[@OscarChalupskySurfski]

Yes try and practice every time you paddle

I found that putting your one leg over first to balance yourself then getting up is easier for me and everyone I help.

I'm going to try this way. I'm new to surfski and was practicing remounts today but I was trying to swing my leg over

[@OscarChalupskySurfski]

Much easier just to put your bum in first

[@chrishitchings8712]

@Oscar Chalupsky worked a treat, actually fell out and HAD to remount today. Straight in first time 👌🏻 thanks.

[@OscarChalupskySurfski]

@@chrishitchings8712 thanks well done

I’ve always found swinging your back leg over like you’re climbing onto a paddleboard then straddling like you’re sitting on a surfboard gets you up faster and allows you to balance more easily in rough surf because your legs are dangling in the water until you’re ready to take a couple of strokes again.

I need to practice this skill, Thanks

[@OscarChalupskySurfski]

Yes an make sure it is the correct way

[@andresgt3755]

do it with waves and wind....

[@OscarChalupskySurfski]

It had both but the camera flattens it completely

[@taylordw]

Looks like good core and arm strength required. Is weight room in addition to much paddling required?

[@OscarChalupskySurfski]

Yes it a whole body exercise

If you rotate the ski a bit so it is a bit tilted to you, it can be used as a lever to aid you in coming up. Kinda of like being scooped from the water with the ski. Useful if you are tired.
