The other thing that happens is surfing in hope this info helps:
Sit on tops are hard to surf in
Without knee straps you have little to no control and any empty storage bays will fill with water, faster than the drainage holes can empty it. This makes the boat very unstable, which isn’t the most confidence inspiring.
Best thing is to try and stay straight and lean into the wave if you get sideways, it’ll stop you from tipping.
Always good to get in some surf only days starting on small waves and working your way up, with the gradual increase your technique will improve then getting in won’t seem as much of an issue.
And getting off early and walking the boat in is a viable option if you don’t feel confident that you can get in, depending on the ferocity of the water, if the waves are too big this might get difficult.
Another thing to learn with knee straps would be rolling which takes the issue of capsizing out of the picture, once you’re confident enough anyway.
Super drone shots from above over the breakers . Amazing quality work , as usual . Always impressive .
You guys should try South African made Stealth kayaks. They are composite, much faster, and made for big surf. There is agent in USA
I understand your logic saying it won’t swamp like a sit inside kayak, but have you heard of spraydecks
Awesome vid thank you Jeff.
nice info. good quality vid.Thanks
Great Video!
Is that 61st street peir at galvenston?
Where can i find a surf kayaking course here on the Island ?
can you surf launch
a 9foot kyak
a sit in kayak won't fill with water either if you have a spray skirt
matty tripps exactly
As much as you need to now how to go into the sea, we must know how to go out later.
so no paddle leash?? wtf
where is the video on how to LAND in a surf zone?
now that is the real challenge
@@attiumeyami417 nah, just surf into the shore and get out.
A sit in sea kayak or white water kayak with a spray skirt is way better for surf, 100 percent better ,sit on kayaks are pigs in surf of course you want to be able to roll your sit in
Patrick Kear yes but they suck to fish from
this would not work in the winter in hawaii.
Noob question, does it matter if your kayak got rudder? Im using lightweight non rudder yak, and still new to kayak.
Some kayaks do better with a rudder but for most no big deal. For paddle kayaks rudders are for tracking not really for turning
Problem its coming back 😂
IF you're a moron.
First comment gets a free kayak right?
lacks any real information
