NORTHSEAKAYAK - The Pier 2

[@PHSeaKayaks]

...and this isn't even our most playful model!! Nice moves, Dimitri!

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you! Looking forward to try this with the new Volan!!🌊😊👌

[@jakebrakebill]

It's just my opinion but I like hearing the natural sounds too ( water, birds, wind ) under the music. And I would have to imagine there were some Bloopers, if so it would be cool to show some at the end. Great video and I wish I had 10% of that talent.

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you for the nice compliment and feedback! We have to decide, and music and back ground sounds making it a bit to much. We also don't have professional camera and sound equipment, which makes it harder to have a perfect sound. This is why we mostly opt to use music only. But we get your point of course. Cheers!😊👍

[@jakebrakebill]

@@Northseakayak I understand, I'm an amateur at filming my own adventures with just a GoPro and because of that struggle, I'm always amazed and appreciate those that do such a great job in their videos. Like because I Kayak, I know, see and appreciate the things you do and your abilities at Kayaking. I'm not taking anything away from ALL your videos that I love. Thanks for the fast response and a response at all.

Dimitri you are crushing it!! Living your best life!

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you! This was a memorable session!

[@janeseddon5500]

Loved this Dimitri. Best example of fun in the surf video I've seen. Sylvie's camera work is so impressive. She gets better and better. Hollywood beckons????? Keep up your teams exceptional sea kayaking videos....I'm a huge fan from Australia

[@Northseakayak]

Thanks a lot for your support and compliments Peter!! Much appreciated as we put a lot of time and effort in these videos. A big hug from the other side of the planet!🤗👌

[@asinglegerry]

Excellent control of the kayak. Thanks for sharing.

[@Northseakayak]

Cheers Gerry, glad you enjoyed the video!🌊😊

[@andrepb19]

This is the first time I saw somebody surf backwards, mad skills!

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you! It isn't easy indeed, have to do the same rudder but at the bow instead of stern. Lot of thinking in the beginning. But it is fun. Just make sure that there is nobody behind you. 😊🌊💪

[@johncaster8037]

Outstanding video and inspirational to me as a beginner sea kayaker! ❤️

[@Northseakayak]

Much appreciated, your comment! Have fun out there and be safe!

[@ryanrhude3256]

It’s crazy how relaxed you are doing all this. I get tense every time I get mixed in with breakers. Love the videos!

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you Ryan! It is all about building up the skills and the conditions, which took me years. Hoi will also get there, hang in there and start with lower waves until you feel comfortable enough to love on. Enjoy!🌊😊👌

[@thomascox8670]

Wow! You are at one with the water. Fabulous!

[@Northseakayak]

Cheers Thomas! We try hard to make videos like this, and we're glad that you like the result. 😊👌🌊

Who ever shot this video they did a fantastic job. Very smooth and kept you framed perfectly. Yes you surfed very smoothly too. .

[@remicote7582]

Super cool video! I liked the way you played in the waves (or the waves played with you) :-). Especially the one that lifted you up on the back of your kayak :-)

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you Remi, glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, the waves were perfect, but also very powerfull... had to pay attention so close to the pier. 🌊👌😊

[@hikinguphigh]

Great skills. Looked like a hell of a lot of fun.

[@flatheadfletch]

I have to eat some humble pie. I said I’d never spend the money on a P&H Kevlar kayak, but, after looking, buying and trying so many over the last decade I finally was able to put hands on a P&H Volan 160. Just couldn’t say no. It’s mine. Paddled it once so far. Man oh man. What a difference ! I hope that someone can learn from me. If you love yaking just refinance something if you have too to get a P&H Kevlar yak. It’s not just beautiful but built like a Ferrari and handles like one. I FINALLY found the ONE yak that truly can do it all. I fish, camp and tour. The Volan 160 covers all my needs. Sweet sweet yak !

[@Northseakayak]

So glad to hear this! I had the exact same feeling years ago. Enjoy the ride!!🌊💪😎

[@bugiard0]

very good, you are a great kayaker. I follow your videos with interest

Ik kon maar één keer gaan en ik ben blij dat ik de dag voordien niet ben gegaan. Nog ruiger, maar minder clean. Dit in de video was echt fantastisch, en hebben we te weinig op onze Noordzee!🌊👍😊

[@jurgenvanmele5721]

OUTSTANDING MAN ,i"m a Canadian style canoeer,but want to try something else,very interesting ,i enjoy your video,did you have also a club where i can learn the skills?I"m from Dendermonde so not really that far

[@Northseakayak]

Hi Jurgen, We do coach paddlers (actually busy with a 3 day intermediate to advanced right now) over here. We are no club however. Once a year, we organise a Sea Kayak Training Camp in Croatia, where you can learn a lot of skills. Check the Spirit of Korkyra website for more information. Or yiu can contact us directly by sending us an email: [e-mail]

[@tonysfishingadventures6725]

Amazing video, and excellent control and confidence. I have tsunami 145 wilderness systems kayak. I would love to take it to the ocean. Do you think this kayak is ok for that?

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you Tony! Yes, as long as you are trained for this and have the appropriate safety equipment and clothing. This boat has separate bulkheads, right? Make sure you know how to self-rescue. Have fun and be safe!

[@sbsgardening6722]

Awesome

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you!

[@ClintonEtheridgea]

I have to ask what MP3 player and headphones are U using and how do you keep waterproof

[@wavyocean1113]

Hi Mr Smiles, Wavy Ocean isn't an mp3 player but are passive earplugs to protect your ears against ear infections caused by water and wind.

[@Northseakayak]

Haha, Wavy Ocean beat me with the answer! Nothing to add!😊👌

[@alkaholic4848]

Glad i stumbled across this. How have I never heard of surfers ear before. Sounds awful! Especially as you don't notice before it's too late. Going to have to look into getting me some of these.

[@gringo19860]

How long is your kayak here Dimitri? You handle it like an extension of your body.👍

[@Northseakayak]

Cheers Steve!! The Cetus is a little less than 5m50 in lenght, but rather agile due to the rocker. Looking forward to field test the more shorter Volan in the future and see how it behaves in comparison to my Cetus.😁👍🌊

[@wavyocean1113]

🔥🙌

[@flatheadfletch]

You know, I want a Volan so bad I can taste it. However it’s twice the price of the Current Designs Sisu. Done even looking at your kayaks and video’s.

[@Northseakayak]

Hi! I know the feeling, believe me. So I understand what you are thinking. Have a look at our oldest videos (and try not to laugh), we started with a plastic sit on top DAG Midway which we paddled for about 5 years. Glad we could upgrade bit by bit, not only the boat but also the equipment. Take your time, enjoy sea kayaking and prioritise. There is a difference between British sea kayaks like P&H and others. They don't come cheap, and for good reason. We had the same feeling, and bought a polyethylene Scorpio and Delphin. Those are even better than some composites from certain brands. Hope this helps?

[@flatheadfletch]

@@Northseakayak You definitely make the best kayak in the world. But $6000 to much I don’t care what it’s made of

[@moisescano5894]

How do you attached the 📷 in the deck?

[@Northseakayak]

With an adhesive surfmount, and a cheap pole we found on EBay. No brand, so it's not a genuine GoPro.

[@LifeisGood-ye8rl]

The music too relax. Should have put in epic 300 battle music

[@Northseakayak]

Hahaha, that would be completely over the top!😂👍

[@mpspuij]

Fantastisch, ik wou dat ik dat kon :-)

[@Northseakayak]

Dankjewel Martin! Je wil niet weten hoeveel uren training hieraan zijn vooraf gegaan de voorbije 15 jaar.😁 Maar het is het meer dan waard. Veel groeten!😊👍

[@mpspuij]

@@Northseakayak Nou ik kan me goed voorstellen hoeveel uren zweet, pijn en afzien er aan vooraf zijn gegaan. En alle veiligheidsaspecten om zo iets te ondernemen want de Noordzee kan verraderlijk zijn, veiligheid boven alles. Daarom petje af, het lijkt allemaal zo makkelijk. Die draai in de golf dat je kajak recht om hoog staat is gaaf om te zien. Vele jaren terug werd ik aangestoken door het kajak virus en leek het me ook fantastisch om de zee op te gaan (jullie schuld door die fantastische video's) maar ik heb een handicap dat mijn evenwichtsorgaan defect is. Dus dat wordt het dan niet als je bij iedere golf (bijna) om ligt. Zeker met een smalle zeekajak is het voor mij gekken werk. Dus dan maar recreatief peddelen met een stabielere kajak op het Veerse meer en de Biesbosch in Nederland.

[@Northseakayak]

@@mpspuij zo jammer te horen ivm je evenwicht. Maar wel blij dat je toch het water op kan. Absoluut niks mis met een iets bredere kajak, wij zijn ook ooit zo begonnen. Veel plezier en dankjewel voor je reactie!🤗😊

[@sartre7]

Love your videos, but wondering if they might be even better with less or no music. The natural sounds are so much better, though I understand for technical reason noise can be an issue. Either way, thank you and keep them coming!

[@Northseakayak]

Thank you for the nice compliment Robert, glad you enjoyed the video! I know, about the music, some like it, some don't. Wind is a big factor, and we don't have professional camera and sound equipment, so we have to do it with what we have. Greetings from the Belgian West Coast!!😊👌
