The OC1 Huli and different techniques to re-mount your outrigger canoe

[@Kevan808]

The best part of a huli is when your friends are laughing at you 😄

Great video, such essential basic well presented information that I didn't find anywhere else. I have another method I made up myself to add to your list. In rough conditions I wear my PFD which has a pretty big front storage pocket and a water bottle holder lashed to the front of that so getting back on the boat facing the boat is difficult - all that frontal junk gets hung up. I swim under the boat, flip it back over and am located at the corner between the rear iako and the boat, port side, facing away from the boat, back to the boat. I then grab the rear iako with my left hand and gunnel with the right hand and put my left foot on the ama and lift myself, butt first, right into the seat. It seems to work great, feels very gentle and elegant and requires little strength. Then remove and fish the leash out from under the boat and off!

Thanks! I'm getting really good at using the ama to get back in. Now to learn the other side. Maybe next I'll learn to stay upright?

Interesting the the easiest starboard remount is not shown, where you get on the canoe while it is still upside down by stepping on the iakos, and then flip it while on it.

Correct this is one that we have recently discovered as well and is an excellent way to get back in in rougher waters.
