How to Teach kids to kayak 5/5: Running rapids on their own

I love these videos but even better, my 5year old loves them!! We don’t have a boat for him yet but if you ask him, he says the Duo is his boat. Thanks for putting these together!

Danny, I'm so glad to hear it. The Duo is an incredible boat for the whole family. Have fun out there!

How about tips on chasing down a boat and how to get it to shore? I finally got my teenagers to the river, but then ended up chasing boats. There has to be a better way... You are in a group, the swimmer is safe, but now it's time to go get their boat. Tips, warnings, ect. For example I was tried to swim out to a kayak with a rope in hand. turned out to be a horrible idea, I was getting tangled in the rope, and the kayak passed me right up. Also tips on freeing a pinned boat more safely.

Those are all great ideas!
