Excellent video loved how the planning was explained. Did you s make the boat yourselves? I spent most of my time kayaking Donegal s amazing coastline ,do you ever paddle there ?

its easier to get in when u kick your back feet to float up

This is excellent. So great to see you managing the X500 in those conditions. Thanks for sharing ✨🙏✨. Cheers from France. Chris

What struck me was the colour of the water; and being familiar with British waters I wasn't surprised in the least.

Are you heading to Scotland next trip? :) The distance you travelled according to your diagram was about 30km (as you said at the end). That would get you to Scotland from Ballycastle.

What rough waters you paddle! Thanks for the stories about the sunken boat and the hot air balloon, really like to hear but best was to see the Puffins!!

Great video, that's one trip I have never done, mainly because of the tides.

Great kayak adventure and video!

Nice one David. Lovely boat. Passage planning was well thought out. Good to do that trip in one day. Have paddled around the Island a couple of times. Take care.

That's one good-looking tandem! Interesting to see the dynamic planning - doesn't take much imagination to see how things can become fairly crazy out there, and understandable that it was quite hard work. The balloon rescue story seemed very relevant to a in inflatable kayak paddler like myself 😁 Unfortunate history with the sunken ship though.

Thanks for bringing us along! I'm quite scared of the open sea, but find it equally alluring. Good to see the thought that goes into planning a trip like this, and how important the background knowledge of tides and local seascapes is.

First off that's a nice looking boat. Great video David with some amazing footage and very useful and informative information that shows you have to know what you're doing and really understand what the tides can do. As it happens I was explaining this to someone the other day. Once again great video and a great paddle.

Amazing place, thanks for sharing!😍

Love that walk! Often go for a dip in the pools there, the mountain streams are so invigorating. Lovely to get such a good day, too. a rare treat these days.

Beautiful waterfall area indeed ❤ And great dog also❗

Absolutely beautiful area! Your four-legged companion seemed particularly enthusiastic, either about the scenery or about lunch.

Thank you for not adding music. Nature sounds are the best esp water... great footage. Ty!

Hi David, Im thinking of buying a Dabber. Ive had a Lugger and really liked it. What engine are you using? Woudl a Two and a half horse be big enough for a Dabber? Any concerns doing coastal and lake/river sailing?

closed cell foam... genius!!!! thank you!

You all look happy, Job Done 👍

Sailing always feels so soothing, just like paddling. Looks like you had an amazing time on the water🤗

Looks like a bunch of fun 😎

Those passages between rock walls (especially the "under a roof" paddling section!) are quite something. Quite the views! Glad the smell from the birds doesn't come across on UA-cam 😎

The sound of the bird chirping is so clear.. I thought the bird was in my house 😂😂

You couldn't beat it with a big stick lol The true advantage of a kayak seeing places you would normally never get to see. Great video David

Looks like a great paddle, fantastic landscape - love the tunnel

Enjoyed the video. Nice relaxed paddle. I had a great day on bank holiday Monday around ballintoy with my grandson, for a bit of rockhopping. Still one of my favourite spots.

That looks like a lot of fun but strenuous for the raft paddlers! What a crowd - incredible! And sneaky move there 😂

You Cheated lol I bet you had money on them to win. Looks like a fun time was had by all, and a lot of people got wet. Hehe

Looks like a lot of fun! Row, row, row your (sail)boat... gently down the causeway

It looks so peacefully when you sailing!👍

Come to Ireland and learn to row a boat lol Beautiful day.

Very Bad Kajak. I Sold IT after 2 days

How does the speed compare to hard shell kayaks? I am thinking of buying this or a Pakayak or a Oru bay ST

David - thanks for posting the video. I'm interested in an inflatable for travel, and because I'm getting too old to put a rigid kayak on my car's roof rack. Could you comment on the maintenance in terms of cleaning and drying the boat after use. Thanks.

what spray skirt do you use? i tried using one from decathlon but i cant get it to fit somehow

A different ship and a completely different scenery from Taiwan. Your wood Greenland paddle is beautiful.

Well done to everyone who took part.

I had missed this one! Majestic and a bit scary in a way. Reminds me of the waves off the coast of western Fuerteventura. Good catches by the four-legged companions. And yes, I did laugh at "this is where Guinness comes from". 😅

Thanks for the video! Thinking of buying one so it was very helpful to watch 👌🏼 liked & subscribed.

Great video, I am looking to buy an Itiwit x500. What is that paddle you are using?

Nice-looking ND Explorer and Valley boats - not sure I'd be taking either one of them rock-gardening....

I was immediately impressed by the STATIONARY bracing turns while leaning IN @ 0:30. I learned about fast turns possible when at speed by leaning into the turn while putting weight on an outstretched low brace. Using the speed of the water passing underneath the paddle to provide the support. But as the boat slows down, you have to finish with a sweep to keep from going over. I was taught to turn in place by leaning on the OUTSIDE edge and sweep so that the boat chine is now forming a radius in the water that corresponds to the circle you are trying to make. I had never seen, been taught, nor ever heard of turning on the leaned edge while stationary. I can’t wait to try this!!!

Bonjour, it's not SANT EFFLAM but BRIOG ; I asked them for a halt on RATHLIN

Bonjour de BRETAGNE; where is the "colmcille" on 27 04 2024 ? the "briog" currach is near FALMOUTH -KERNOW, she go to iona . The "sant efflam" currach is in porz ty-du in plougastel ( i'm the "abbey"(skipper))

Wow I love you greenlad kayak. Magnificent!!!!!

Well done everyone, an awesome challenge achieved. Thinking of Adrian and so admire how his mind can continue thinking and plan this type of event for the benefit of others. Take care all 🛶🤩

Omg you are a man after my own hart! Just with Sea Kayaks. But that Thy strap makes me nervous. Have you thought about the type used with inflatables like a packraft? Guy like you could install the required D rings, and it would give you real knee braces.. Subscribed

Noble effort paddling for such an important cause, and a very interesting video as usual! Wish the best for Adrian and his health. Very cool with these environments, such as the castle and rockhopping opportunities, not to mention the waterfall! Amazing to have access to this. The arch is just such a cool feature. Confident and relaxed rescues by both paddler and helping paddler 🙂 This is one of those videos that certainly inspires to further paddling, development, and not least, doing some good in whatever way possible in connection with the sport. Top marks for this one! I'll take the liberty of sharing this on my UA-cam community wall as a post, given the importance of the cause.

Hey David, just noted that this vid has reached 7,000+ views in just a month or so. Shows how appreciated the content is and the knowledge behind it! Nicely done 🙂
