Trouble in Rough Water

Kayaking with friends when one of us tips over and we had to do a rescue in the waves. Also some exciting rock hopping.

Looks like you had a great fun day and always good to see real world rescues!

[@JonasAlexanderson]

It’s funny how two cold, windy and rainy days can be just wonderful in a kayak 😃

[@VictorCopeland]

Great to see this very well made video, with real life incidents and dealing with them. Very interested to hear how it was made. A new career?

[@JonasAlexanderson]

Already part of my new career 😀. And thanks Victor 👍🏼

[@jonathanhamnett4044]

Real rescues, real incident management and looks like everyone kept a cool head - those sudden surging waves can always catch us out regardless of how careful/confident we are paddling. Is it just the camera angle or was it quite shallow there in places? Anyway, you guys nailed it!

[@JonasAlexanderson]

@@jonathanhamnett4044 thank you. Yes there are rocks around. I was out doing some rock hopping, and where we did he rescue Hanne even stood on a shallow rock for a few seconds. None of us were at any time nervous or scared, that’s what a lot of training gives you.

[@Fishaholicboy]

Was a little nervous watching kayaks flip.. but just shows if people are prepared, it’s not a big issue. Loved your recovery with the roll!

[@JonasAlexanderson]

Thank you. That is why I practice a lot, was out today and did about 30 rolls.

[@Fishaholicboy]

@@JonasAlexanderson wow.. I need to do that too. My Rebel Greenland T just arrived to Hong Kong port.. should be able to unbox and try it this weekend. I’ll be practicing my rolls with it!

[@JonasAlexanderson]

@@Fishaholicboy you are getting a nice kayak. I was doing the practice in my Rebel Ilaga today (it was already on the top of my car and I was too lazy to take any other kayak).

[@AirOnTheWater]

Very interesting and action-filled video with a little bit of drama there with the rescue! Cool speed gauges in the video. Is that from the Insta360 or some sort of software add-on for using the GPS data of the GoPro?

[@JonasAlexanderson]

Thank you. The speed gauge is from the remote control used with Insta360 X3. First time I try it.

[@AirOnTheWater]

@@JonasAlexanderson Nice. Looks very cool actually.

[@shaneshankly4518]

Not surprised she needed a rescue as i also have a Romany sport amd its a very tippy boat and kucky not to have lost a hatch cover as they aren't a great fit . Yes over all not a good boat but strangely gets good reviews 🤔

[@JonasAlexanderson]

I have tried a Romany Classic, far too big in the cockpit for me. Never tried the Surf.

[@109cow]

I have romany sportive, i love it. It is also possible to roll. I wish to try it in more wave conditions. Once I lost hatch cover while transport, but not on water.... Was it impossible to empty kayak on the water? Thank for real good videos!

[@JonasAlexanderson]

@@109cow we did empty the cockpit but it was not possible with the rear hatch.
