A tip for getting in and out of the kayak… use your paddle as a stabilizer but putting it right up to the middle of the boat, vertically down into the water and to the bottom of the water (if it’s not too deep)… works like a charm

[@Fresh3990]

Great vid! I learned I was using dry bags completely wrong and I should definitely go buy some rope :)

[@stevegreene5415]

Love the honesty 😂 I just ordered mine and seeing you put the gear bar in is exactly how I would figure it out

[@childofgod5115]

Great video those are some simple but powerful tips ! Thanks

[@erikalee224]

Waxing the paddle is a great tip! I can't wait to try it. Thank you!

[@skenchoutdoors]

I swear it's a game changer. Wicks right off the paddle every time! Happy paddling! And thanks for checking out the video!

[@DoomsayerDesigns]

Dude! That thing is wild! I'm amazed it works as well as it does. Great video, homie!

[@skenchoutdoors]

Heyyy! Appreciate you checking it out, man. And the share, seriously means a ton! It's seriously been AWESOME, it's changed up how I think about going out now since it's so portable. Thanks again man!

[@bongopirate0672]

Another good video.... I have a milk crate with fishing rod holders attached for rods. I keep equipment in it as well.

[@skenchoutdoors]

I've gotta set something up like that, I'd take any tips. I've seen a few people use PVC they messed with to hold that stuff so I'm not sure the direction to take but the milk crate is a great addition.

[@Clange_44]

Awesome video and thanks for making it! We just bought two new ones that will be arriving this week!

[@skenchoutdoors]

[@skenchoutdoors]

Happy paddling! You'll love it!

[@sandracarlson8215]

Well done. Thanks 4 all the good information

[@Mikenopolis]

I'm still a bit hesitant on this folding kayak since I'm on the heavier side. Great tips! I usually have a thick folded black towel to soak up water and just wring out the water on long rides. How far do you paddle for? I suggest opening up your hand when it's in the up position while paddling, that allows you to stretch them and also promote a body rolling motion as you do a pushing motion at the top. This allows you to not get tired as quickly.

[@skenchoutdoors]

Awesome tips there on paddling. I usually try replicating rowing like I have done on those rowing machines at gyms, but haven't ever opened my hand. Just today I went about 3 miles lake paddling in it, and did 5 miles lake paddling on it a few weeks ago. It really wasn't that bad, but the 5 miler had me tested! Haha I use a towel now more than anything too so great minds must think alike on that one...on your end! Haha. Seriously appreciate you taking the time to check out the video, and maybe join the Facebook group if you're weary but interested and see all the people raving about this kayak there. People of all sizes! Thanks again!

Did the gear bar come with the kit ..or is it a separate order..? thanks

[@stevejanke1574]

Is the gear bar supposed to come with every kayak or did you make one yourself?

[@skenchoutdoors]

It comes with the kayak!

[@stevejanke1574]

@@skenchoutdoors Wierd. I just bought two of them and did not receive a gear bar for either of them.

[@skenchoutdoors]

@@stevejanke1574 if you shoot a message to [e-mail] I can personally vouch that they will get with you 100% and super quick. Their customer service is absolutely out of this world. Good luck, even though I know you don't need it! Haha. Happy paddling!

That thing is the Muscovy Duck of kayaks, yeah you know what I mean.

If I cared much about how I looked in one, I'd have to lose the Speedo first and foremost! Haha

[@geodude6244]

I'm sorta bummed when I got mine they decided to discontinue giving the gear bar in and I can be extreme with how I kayak. I could see how when I was in big surf I felt it flex if they would've gave me the bar it would've been better.

[@skenchoutdoors]

I'd honestly say if you shot them a message they'd send you one over. Also, it WAS just a piece of PVC with some foam around it. If you're crafty, you may be able to set up something better. Did you get the stabilizers with yours? I know they're sending those out now too!

[@DaveCop]

Isn't that the foot bar?

[@shanehanson7514]
