      All I can say is that kayaks are hard to see. They are silent. They need to be the ones to get out of the way.
      The water has its own rules. Getting into a kayak on open waters is a super dangerous thing even if you don't realize that danger. Keep them in rivers and lakes because to a 50' vessel you don't even exist.

      Exactly, half of the people showing off their quads for the cameras, the other half are drunk. Last place I'd try to paddle. That doesn't absolve the boat captain from his reckless disregard though.
      I made the mistake of trying to cross the main body of lake Minnetonka in a kayak and it felt like a game of frogger with drunk semi drivers. Sometimes you have a close call like this that reiterates how small you are.

      It's nothing like it. Skate boarding on GCP is illegal. The waves weren't getting him but some a-hole wake was, He has better control over that kayak than the person does of the boat. Look how long it took for the person to react after the passenger pointed out the kayak. The guy driving is more worried about chatting up the girls and he wasn't even watching. He was also sitting down and can't see over bow because of it. He has no business behind the wheel

      @@brinkee7674 That all may be true, but the odds of getting hit by a boater in that canal on that day, While kayaking, are similar to a skateboarder getting run over while skateboarding on a busy highway, regardless of the legality. I’m not disagreeing with your disposition. Most boaters lack the coordination and or experience to ensure safety, which is why I prefer to head out during the week, and not weekends. As a boater, I’ve had many close calls, with other boaters who were preoccupied with something other than the water in front of them.

    As a kayaker, this scenario can be quite possible when large boats, small boats and kayaks, or jet skis use the same waterway. The kayaker had a red flag and when I see boats come at me at full speed, I always take my paddle and wave it in a vertical stance to be seen. This situation is no different than people distracted texting, fiddling with a radio, or talking to someone on the phone in a car. I believe that the big boat's captain was distracted either by the other bigger boats, sea conditions, or his passengers and didn't see or lost track of the small kayak in front of him. I believe that the kayaker's boat probably sustained damage from hitting the cement wall and I believe that it would be the big boat's responsibility to ensure that the kayaker is alright and he should pay for any damages to the kayaker's boat. I would personally avoid busy traffic areas with large motorboats cruising through rough waters. If I was kayaking, I would move to a place where there is little or no traffic and enjoy the isolation, freedom, and safety. That's my opinion.

      I don't think people understand the scope of how sight works combined with waves and other larger vessels.
      Kayaks literally just disappear from sight. If you have 4 large obstacles in front of you sometimes you miss a tiny kayak until it's too late of you just never see them at all.
      It's like walking down the slow lane of a highway. Super unsafe.

      While unenforced, the same exists in the US. With that being said, Florida’s east coast inlets are notoriously brutal. You have to do whatever it takes to keep your boat floating which is just one of the many reasons why YOU SHOULD NEVER KAYAK IN THEM.

    Like it or not, the kayak has the same right to be on that waterway as any boat. Karma would be finding his boat sunk at the docks. This was reckless, irresponsible, and embarrassing to captains that take their craft seriously. Not stopping to take responsibility for the error just adds to the insult.

      Most of the vessels are custom-made and built to handle rough seas with proper ballast. They are not the grossly overpriced plastic urinals mass produced by these supposed great companies like Contender, Grady White, Pursuit. It is a status thing amongst the sporties. The 110 ×26 beam×13 ft draft light steel longliner I run is powered by 2 12 cylinder diesels, 3 -10 kw generators, 22,000 gallon fuel capacity walk-in refrigerator and freezer 2 10 ton a day ice makers, etc. That vessel brand new from the shipyard was 875,000.00. Some of these plastic center consoles with a few egg beaters on the back cost more. I can steam over 4,000 miles without needing fuel. They are lucky to get 400 miles.

  • @CapeCodTrainTodd

    That was a close call. Is there a speed limit/ no wake zone in that area? It seems there should be. The problem started with the bigger boat passing the smaller so close too. How did that smaller boat handle the wake? I think the kayaker needs a taller flag and maybe stop playing in the channel. We have seen other close calls at Haul Over inlet with kayakers, wave runners and paddle boards. Slow down and be careful folks.

    In FL, the general rule is that the larger vessel has the right of way. But the rule is also that unpowered vessels have the right of way over powered vessels. So it’s hard to say who really has the right of way here. I’m gonna ding the kayak for paddling down the middle of a busy, choppy inlet though. Regardless of right of way, that was not smart at all.

      Also a law about displaying a river flag too, which the boat clearly ignored. Shouldn’t have been using that flag, but the boat still needed to stay 100 feet away from the kayaker in the inlet due to the fact a diver could have been under there, and the kayaker was support for the diver.

I have seen a couple of those idiots run their boat straight up on the sod banks though...like texting while boating.
