I am a 5'6 woman with a Toyota Highlander looking for ways to load a very similar kayak by myself. Thank you!! this was super helpful. First, I need to trade out my cinch straps for ones with rubber encasing so I don't ding my car while throwing them back over. I've used step ladders but I never knew that's what those metal clamps inside the door were for!? Cool, I might check that out too.
Finally !!! I have been going back n forth on the catch mode for a couple years now. This video is the best one yet. I am sold Brother ! And Sister lol. I have heard it is slow and clunky, doesnt turn the best, but you surely proved that wrong. Class II Rapids....What?!?! I am 6 ft couple hundred (on a good day) - And you look sooooo comfortable !! This is the kind of kayak I could fish all day, not catch a thing and be completely satisfied ! Thanks again !!!!
@@johnnorman4420 you are so welcome! Glad to help. Let us know what you think if you end up getting it
Grab a pair of Churchill Makapuu swim fins. They allow you to get into the wave earlier so you can ride it down the line like a surfer.
@@ClownFaceSurfChannel thanks so much for this, will do!! 🤙
@@MountainsRiverSea Grab a pair of fin tethers too. They attach to your ankle so your fins won't fall off.
Boogie Surfers!
How did Academy handle the skeg? I just got mine and I have the same issue, do I need to return the whole kayak? I already have it registered too. Thanks and very informative video!
@@danielhurtado2975 he ended up just keeping it as is but I would definitely call Academy and ask. Maybe you could order the skeg parts from Pelican and switch it out yourself? Wish I had more info for you! Let me know how it works out 🤞
Nice informative video, I would e curious what the XT has over the standard Vapor 10. Is it just the hatch in the rear?
@@johnsini4579 yes, from my understanding the main difference is the rear hatch
I've actually been looking for a dry suit boot that I can wear for shore scuba diving in Monterey or Vancouver Island. I wanted something that has some ankle support and grippy rubber and these look like a good option. I just bought some so will test them out. Thank you for your review as it was helpful.
@@mquinn4017 you’re so welcome! Hope they work out for you 😊
I love my new Flash 9.5. Great starter boat & very durable
Looks like so much fun!!!❤❤❤
Molded handles offer the best security, it’s one reason I really like Perception Kayaks.
Gray looks like he is having a blast at the end- thank you
Aside from cat videos this is one of the better UA-cam videos I have seen.
Your first in/out method causes damage to the belly of your kayak and paddle - scraping on gravel or concrete boat ramps is not the way to do it. I prefer to straddle then sit, while my kayak is in the shallows.
@@nancyfry8361 that method I demo is for sandy beaches but yes I understand what you’re saying… we often straddle too in about knee deep water to get back in especially rivers where there is no beach
A little off topic... A paddle leash is a good, safe item to use. Also, for newer or less balanced people, attach a thin rope to the kayak. Attach a weighted foam fishing bobber to the other end. Have about 10 or 12 feet of thin rope. Before entering or exiting the kayak, make sure the bobber end is on shore. Before exciting, throw the line well up on shore. This is done in case one accidentally pushed the kayak away by losing balance. Grab the rope to prevent unwanted swimming. Especially if you have gators in your waters.
Hey,thanks for the video. This is the info I have been looking for. Despite the fact I will probably never be in rapids I appreciate knowing that the boat can.
@@Medictrent you’re so welcome! Glad it helped 😊
can you advise us about getting in and out of an inflatable? good video, thank you for posting this.
@@peggystevens5144 🤔 hmm that’s a good question! Never tried that, but I want to do a video of getting in a kayak from knee-deep water and would probably be very similar. Thanks for the suggestion
@@MountainsRiverSea thank you!
I had my ankle replaced. And tendon surgery. I have a Knee Roller,Crutches,and the IWALK3.0.
@@gangstafish25 omg!! Good luck in your recovery. I thought about the iWALK but never did feel like bothering with it, dealing with taking it off and on anytime I wanted to sit down but I watched a lot of videos of people who did use them. I got pretty good on that knee scooter though! 😂 best wishes
the bath mat works great , i have used a comforter to pad mine, i carry a mini gorilla ladder with me, its so much easier, also,i use the foam blocks to help me get it up higher, also if you run your safety straps first you can dive under them so even if the kayak falls the straps will catch it
These are some really helpful tips,I tried a kayak once it scared me ,I thought I would flip,gave up immediately!!
This was helpful, thank you.
Great video thank you 👍🏻
Loved my Red Loon 111. Out of all my kayaks. Sit insides, sit on tops or inflatable kayaks. This was my favorite . Really good memories and adventures. In South Florida
Thanks for the video! Was thinking about buying the loyak shoes, but now that you mentioned the ankle protection and the tip about the sand, i may lean toward the hiyaks. I wear exclusively hi top shoes for daily wear anyways, so it makes sense for me. I worry about the hiyak material being more "insulating" than the loyal. I don't want hot feet.
Glad you liked the video! If you were walking around all day in one version versus the other as casual wear, I would say the loyak would definitely be more breathable for every day where… But in water and kayaking situations, I did not notice the Hiyak being hot because my feet were almost always wet anyway
@@MountainsRiverSea Thanks! That's great to hear. I went ahead and bought the hiyaks. Looking forward to them.
I feel like it would be easier if the j hooks were closer to the edge of the car.
I’m sure my method is far from perfect. I had them as close as I could get them while still allowing room on the crossbars for the width of the kayak hull to fit up there and stay put once I slid it up there. This is also a wider kayak than my touring kayaks so that also made it a little trickier
Great review! Nice little boat 🛶
Thank you! Yes one of my favorite kayaks right now 😊
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Super helpful to see you use the scooter on inclines and steep curbs. I also appreciate your comments on how you gained confidence after some time ... great reminder to be patient. Hope you're back on both feet soon!
Thank you so much!
Great packing list , but that has to be the most uncomfortable ride ever. 😂
Thanks! and yes we were a little loaded down! Might just be grabbing the canoe next time lol 😂
I have a Toyota Sienna, which is apparently classified as a truck, I am also barely 5 ft 3. I bring a step ladder with us to load/unload and strap down. I have been looking for easier ways to load my double...... I will defiantly try this
Great song
Came across your video. Thanks for showing. Very cautious about getting in from the bank. I usually plop in , praying I don’t fall out.
This video was super helpful. Used to just toss my 10.4 viper kayak on the oem crossbars in my old land rover discovery and used 3 ratchet straps to tie down. Could stack another one up top too but kinda sketchy. Now got a new 4runner limited and dont want to scratch anything on it, so looked into j hooks. This seems easy enough. Would you recommend using bow and stern straps also with j hooks using those cam type straps?
What a beautiful shots, this whole upload is something special! Love the atmosphere 👏👏
Thank you !!
Lovely!!
Awesome shots, great music choice....looks quite peaceful and welcoming!
Thank you C!! ❤️😊✌️
Super beautiful lighting and i love finding eastern box turtles, their patters always look so unique and different. Also your dog is so well behaved waiting for you without you having to hold the leash.
Thank you so much! Yes the lighting was unusually beautiful that afternoon. And I love all the beautiful box turtles that I find on our walks! Yeah I don’t know why Ollie was so well-behaved when I had to let go of him a couple times to get the video footage lol 😂 (Probably bc it was so hot lol). Cheers.
WoW!!! Scene one, one of worst ways to get in your kayak lol you could hear the hull being scared up as she shoves off, what if instead of soft dirt its rocks or has SOME rock, it will scar the hull REALLY bad. There are MUCH better ways to get into your kayak than this. LoL I watched a little more OMG!!! 1 min into this video is this satire and they are showing everything not to do????? can you hear the scaring of the hull? Now at 2 mins. in she does that right, So the 2nd 1/2 of this video is right.
Just showing how to get in as a beginner from a beach situation in shallow water. The beach we were at had a few tiny pebbles. I assure you the hull is fine but thanks for your concern.
wow, what an incredibly in depth review video. its not just a review, but an instructional and maintence guide as well. thank you for making this
Great video! I'm 6 foot 1 and was wondering if this kayak would have enough leg room to be comfortable?
Yes should have plenty of room for your legs! My brother in this video is 5’10” and had plenty of room to spare
Thanks for putting this video together. Very helpful, especially when you’re getting in & out oh the bank.
Those Walmart dry sacks are garbage. Holes in them immediately on my 500 miles down the Ohio River in 2015.
Oh no! Yeah this is only the 2nd river trip with them but I think one of them is already leaking water 🤦♀️
Awesome!! Good times!
Great review!
What model Dagger kayak is that?
Dagger Zydeco 9.0! I love that boat!
Thanks for the great review - will grab for my Dagger Element ! Take care!
Yes Ras
Makes me want to go rent a inner tube and float down the Sacramento River and... Ramble on
Easier to ride a inner tube. :-)
Hahaha! Tried to find the super-thanks because your video is worlds better than the KneeRover peeps. Thank you so very much! Our specific issue is the little rocker pin thingie you go over at the 12 minute mark, which isn't even listed as a part in the manual or their videos. Hope you're all done healing by now :: crossing paws ::
You’re so welcome! Hope it helped. Healing well thank you ❤️😊
If you blow air out your nose when you hit the water you won’t need to plug it.
This is awesome! Do you have other social accounts? I live in the upstate
Did you put in close to 276? 3 total portages? I think I'm gonna go give it a shot tomorrow
cool
