Inflatable Kayak (FAIL)

Four couples go geocaching on the canal, there's one epic fail though at the beginning. It's a definate hashtag fail!!!!

[@stuartoreilly3210]

hilarious, did make me laugh.. looked like the most unstable kayaks ever!

[@CampervanTales]

It did make us laugh too when it happened. Just glad we caught it on camera😁

[@rustynuts4426]

At least you're having fun!

[@CampervanTales]

Always😀

Those cheaper Sevylor kayaks aren't very good. I bought the Tahaa, which seem very similar to the Riviera and like that, it's a pig to try to get it to go in a straight line. As soon as you stop paddling, it pirouettes. I've since bought a Sevylor Madison.

[@CampervanTales]

We have a proper Canadian canoe so obviously don't have any issues. It was funny seeing her fall in though. We told her it was going to happen.

[@SPd.Triple]

Hats off for having a go 😁👍

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. She made a hash of it🤣

[@r.williamcomm7693]

At least everyone is smiling. We take ourselves too seriously.

[@CampervanTales]

Very true

[@thomascopestake7568]

Planning on doing this with a few friends, did you have to do anything legal for this? Like a licence or anything? Thanks!

[@CampervanTales]

Yep, you need to get a licence from CRT. You can get a short term licence through their website. Enjoy and have fun.

[@MahatmaAndhi]

The license depends on who owns the waterway that you're interesting in using. The cheapest way to get an annual pass is via British Canoeing whose annual On the Water membership covers almost every river and canal in the UK. www.britishcanoeing.org.uk/membership/on-the-water-membership

[@mikeycraig8970]

License for what? Canoeing?? First I've heard of it.

[@CampervanTales]

Yes you need a licence from Canal and Rivers Trust

Really need to put your butt in first. Trying to stand up is often a fail!

I think she learnt a valuable lesson😉

😂 89$ 2 seat Canary Intex with the skeg no problems for many years.

[@CampervanTales]

We would never swap our Canadian for an inflatable

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

@@CampervanTalesAnd I would never swap my Canary inflatable after fooling around with loading the Kayaks on top of the van for just 1 year that was enough for me. This kayak is in a bag inside the van, I take it out get the pump hooked up to the van and inflate/ deflate the Inflatable within 2 minutes I am on the water. Takes about 5 minutes to deflate and pack up. Inflatable is also safer since it molds to your body shape no more tipped over accidents and with the skeg it goes in rough waves with no problems. I sold the hard kayaks for those reasons.

[@CampervanTales]

@@danfuerthgillis4483 we don't find it a problem. Five minutes to get on and off the roof and in the water. No faffing around with inflating and deflating, or having to dry it out. Each to their own. What works for some doesn't for others.

[@user-hj8mr3si2s]

То не изгледа безбедно.

[@CampervanTales]

Not something we would use. We much prefer our rigid Canadian canoe

[@koningbolo4700]

that obviously went swimmingly...

[@CampervanTales]

It was an impression of Apollo 11 returning to Earth....splashdown😉👍

[@redghost6386]

I would never buy another inflatable kayak.

[@CampervanTales]

We would never buy one full stop. Much prefer our Canadian.

Really love your channel,just subscribed.Any tips please for a new youtuber ,how to get more subscribers please

[@CampervanTales]

Thankyou Debs. Where to begin. The most important one is to just be yourself in your videos, don't make it all sunshine and roses, just be real. Show bad bits as well as good. The next most important one is to engage with people who comment on your videos. Make sure you reply to every comment that you get, good or bad. We may be growing in subscribers now but it has taken us almost four years to get to where we are. We used to crave getting subscribers but now don't worry about it. If it grows slowly then that fine, the people who subscribe will usually stick with you then. Don't be afraid of doing something a bit different as well. We started as just a channel about the build of our van but then since it has morphed in to where we go in our van and also the walks that we do. Hope that helps. Good luck with your channel.

[@debsmostexcellentadventure5353]

thankyou

[@CampervanTales]

Looking forward to watching your videos

[@vanthadoun1]

It is embarrassing but something funny when looking back. Thanks for watching.
