OCEAN KAYAKING-- BIG WAVES! (FAIL)

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol y’all are crazy. Hope they tipped you well. But just remember money isn’t worth your life man.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir that's for sure! Even though the conditions weren't ideal, we felt confident in our abilities to get baits out! Thanks for the support and advice!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@GulfCoastNation]

2:42 kayak action starts!!

[@jerrycrute1428]

I was doing 4-6 foot waves this week on my Ocean Kayak "Scrambler" in the OBX, NC. You can plow through and ride any wave up to 8 feet, IMHO, with the right technique of being patient and leaning back when sliding down a wave. It is a great workout and a ton of fun.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir! Great kayak that has some great capabilities! That east coast current/ surf can get NASTY!

[@newstart49]

Back in the 70's my friend and I took a 12 foot aluminum boat with a 6hp engine and rode the waves. Very lucky we didn't flip it. Waves were maybe 3-4 foot. We were young and crazy back then too. We also caught quite a few shark back then on the beach wade fishing. There were a lot of them but mostly shovel nose at 2 ft length. If I were younger, I'd still be doing it. Keep on keeping on and have fun while you can!!!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thats awesome!! Memories made right there!

[@brianbf9750]

Cool video guys I have kayaked in some nasty stuff Here is my advixe to you guys first when you approach a 4-7ft wave lean all the way back in your seat I have never flipped going out and have gone in some monster waves the most dangerous time is the trip back and gets more dangerous as you approach one of the bars if you do get dumped out go underwater and try and stay for a few seconds it helps clear the kayak away from your head and body it does not feel good to get hit in the head by 40-50 pounds of kayak Third if the moon isn't out at night don't risk going out after dark when the waves are that big it's just not worth it and lastly I know you all don't like paddle leashes but on days like that they do come in handy if you get dumped out past the bar. Keep up the good work and tight lines guys

[@GulfCoastNation]

We know you have man! That's for the advice!! Definitely want to have fun but gotta be safe! Appreciate the support!!

[@tokay999]

I've been told that too, it does work

[@capricorn2816]

Your a trooper. Kayakin in the surf can kick your ass! I did 1 run, now I have a jetski. Lol. Hell yeah! 🤙🏻

[@GulfCoastNation]

haha they can be a challenge!! but it is all apart of the fun!!

[@rstar614ftw3]

My first day kayaking was in rough surf. Fun ass hell especially when i made it over some big waves.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Definitely a blast!

[@whenwingsfail]

Yall are total badasses.

Imagine taking these with a sit-in kayak, better bring a bucket!

[@aftech7268]

Awesome now I’m buyin me a kayak

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha yes sir!! Just make sure you get one that is a sit on top if you are taking it out in rough water!!

[@tokay999]

kid charged those waves!!!!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha Adam definitely goes after it!

[@dompiumelli]

This one's going... That hurt! lol

[@GulfCoastNation]

😅 little sting to it! Hope you enjoyed the episode!

[@denisrailey777]

Nice surfing. Bracing helps not being flipped. Sit in kayak better. Then you learn to roll. Whole lotta fun.

[@macblack5393]

Yes my dude! Day two of me kayaking and I handle my first way and did not capsize. Yesterday I capsized three times. Commitment!

[@PowerFisherman]

Love the video. Looks like the surf in South Padre Island in Texas. Enjoyed the courage. Now need to see the night time kayaking videos to drop those tiger baits. Those after midnight drops really produce.

[@islandvibez]

just like rapid kayaking down the colorado river minus the rocky river bottom ☺

[@GulfCoastNation]

😅 thats right!!

[@karlbrunelle5245]

Can you tell what model Ocean Kayak you were using? Do you recommend it?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Scrambler xt! Good kayak. We do a review on 3 of the best ocean fishing kayaks on our channel!

[@NICAEXPLORE]

So beautiful beach also the waves

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thanks so much!

[@quinnmorse7548]

It looks so fun

[@preythemouse]

What do y’all use to get the footage while on the kayak? I’d love to record all my bait running adventures for the future

[@GulfCoastNation]

Gopro!

[@SimoneJames1]

Looks so fun

[@GulfCoastNation]

Fun day for sure!!

[@pauld.b7129]

I have the exact same kayak and the same things happened to me many times 😂 I go out in San Diego, and even when the waves seem small from shore, they're huge once you start paddling out. Getting the timing down is tricky, sometimes if you catch a break wrong theres just nothing you can do.

[@maddawg5016]

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha Thank you

It was for sure

[@iamatt]

That's pretty much how it goes with those 12' ocean kayaks. Usually good going out, turtle back in once you get that wave. Look over your shoulder, you know you're done haha

[@GulfCoastNation]

HAHA! Yeah you can get a decent surf ride out of it BUT 100% know the feeling of looking back and going "Oh crud!"

[@deepcold4884]

Hello senior, your videos are really great. It has a very good warning and educational value for anglers. Can I use some of your clips to make a video? Hope to get your agreement!❤

[@WildOutdoorLiving]

Haha well that was intense

[@aig5429]

Finally a good kayaking video! Do you think my inflatable kayak will handle this?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Hey!! Glad you enjoyed it! No an inflatable wouldn't be the best idea

[@maxglaves3452]

What kayak do you guys use?

[@GulfCoastNation]

In this video we are using the ocean kayak scrambler xt

[@maxglaves3452]

@@GulfCoastNation cool thank you!!

[@bethanysykora5604]

How far do you paddle the beats out from shore? Is their Currents or anything when you get so far out?

[@GulfCoastNation]

We use a kayak!!

[@GulfCoastNation]

And there can be surrents that get worse, just depends on the day. Current this day was BAD

[@paulgranpop536]

I notice you don't have thigh straps fitted. Why not? I go kayak surfing in Cornwall in UK and find they help control the kayak. (Wavesport scooter) I surf around 4ft waves which are big enough for me. After all I am 69 and started kayaking 3 years ago.

[@GulfCoastNation]

hey! We haven't heard of that before! But being strapped in wouldn't work great because we have to jump in and out quick! Might have to check it out though!

[@paulgranpop536]

@@GulfCoastNation They go around your knees and are quick release not strapped on. They give much more control of the Kayak like you would in a sit inside kayak. With them you can lift one side of the kayak by leaning over. Hope this helps.

[@GulfCoastNation]

@@paulgranpop536 thanks for the information! We are looking into it

[@logancurran]

that’s a normal day at my beach

[@GulfCoastNation]

Wasn't claiming it to be anything more than just a really tough day with some awesome swell!🥴 don't forget what 24mph wind and current will do too, not just the surf 🙄

[@beckerh1]

My family of 4 were thinking of renting 2 tandem kayaks for a beach trip to Fort Morgan. This video has me thinking otherwise. We've only ever kayaked lazy rivers. Would paddle boards be better for paddling around right past the break? I was thinking kayaks would be easier and safer but not after watching this, lol. Is it even safe for a inexperienced paddlers to be out in the gulf coast?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Hey Heather! Just be sure to check the weather conditions about 4-5 days before your stay! Somedays the Gulf can be very nasty with big waves like this and heavy current. Other days it can be as calm as a lake with hardly any water movement! This largely depends on waves and storms in the area! P.S we use magicseaweed.com to check the swell report!- It only reads a few days out, hope this helps! gulfcoastnation.com

[@NicholasL2288]

Admit it you had fun....

[@GulfCoastNation]

OH we had a blast!🙌

[@buddyshanks3610]

Awesome video! What would you guys consider a safe wave height for newbies to yaking and shark fishing? Going to be on bolivar this weekend with forecast of 2.5-3ft at 8s. Seems like nothing compared to the monsterous waves in your video!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Gotta find that balance of wind and waves along with a good kayak. Good kayak is key! Best thing you can do is get out there and play in the waves first with out a bait! Best teacher is experience! We could do 3ft at 8s no problem but there was a time that would have killed us in the ole pelican kayak 🤣 Get out there and play first, see how you do

[@buddyshanks3610]

@@GulfCoastNation Thank you for the quick reply and advice! I have an ocean kayak frenzy and will play around a bit before trying our first line.

[@GulfCoastNation]

@@buddyshanks3610 good kayak right there! Get out there and have fun but know the ocean is always in control!

[@toddjohnson9782]

Wonder if a drone could drop a bait?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Not the size baits we use unfortunately! We just use our drone for video!

[@NICAEXPLORE]

But the waves so so strong cannot go very far by the bay just experience for a while is enough

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thats right!! Even the bay can get pretty rough
