Great to see this video once again. I haven't practiced the dump in a few years....need to do it again in practice as both the roller and assist kayak so that I'm ready if needed in real paddling conditions since winter is here again.
That is an awesome technique. Never saw that or thought of it. 2014 is the year of self rescue ( and assisted self rescues now ) practice for me. I am going to add this to my tool box.
I tried. With an empty kayak. Even then, I was not able to get up on the deck of my rescuer. But maybe that's easier in waves? My attempt looked more like a ramming attack.
Seems like you'd still end up with lots of water after this, since the boat goes back into the water with the cockpit somewhat submerged as the boat rolls upright again. I suppose for emergencies when you can't pump out, this would be better than leaving the boat full.
This only works if the dumpee is trusting in you putting them underwater for three seconds. If so works well if they let their boat roll up first then lift themselves upright.
I'd use a plastic boat for initial try out. Pretty dangerous technique if you ask me. Ramming the other boat or person, person getting out of breath before trying to roll up again, an even heavier boat to handle, spray decks getting damaged... Maybe I'll try with a very experienced bunch of paddlers but this is definitely not for everyone. I'll give a thumbs down because you didn't notify us of any potential risks.
@@Romany1111 Typically in Newfoundland we wear dry suits. That said, when your face and head hit water that is 5 C or less, cold shock can step in. It's the Atlantic and Bergs have only been gone for 2 months.
@@Alexmcgruer3 Understood. I'm in the N. Atlantic as well, and am out all year. Ice cream headache is nasty, but it's all in the training. Overcoming body reflex for sudden zero-C immersion is a literal pain, but it works. Same as high-performance aircraft pilots needing to overcome excess G. Unfortunately, waters are warmer year-round, so less ice in New England, but we seem to be getting some better fall swells. Cheers.

Wow! Brilliant! The simplest way to empty a kayak I've ever seen. Thanks!!! -Anders

Before rolling over, be sure that the back of the spray skirt is not hooked up -- that's where most of the water flows out.
We love this! Fastest dry boat in the business!
I love your vids and school philosophy! I need to come take a class!
Taking a dump is often quite satisfying..............
muy efectiva y fácil de realizar.... Gracias León Sommé!!

Your assister has to edge towards you before you raise your bow over their cockpit.
that looks fun, definitely worth a try when it warns up again. Just curious, but what kayaks are you guys in??
Shawna and Leon are both paddling the Romany from SKUK

I've tried this several times and there is always less than an inch of water remaining.

Simple, effective and new.
But I see a problem.
If person capsise, he most often need help/support to get the sprayskrt on again
Not really...
If one is unable to replace their own spraydeck, they probably should not be using one in the first place.
Awesome!!!
wow! next thing i will try out.

Ok, I'm game Robin :-)
We tried this...I didn't like it...
Not sure how it would work in very cold water, perhaps the pool next week. Cold water here can be sub zero.
If it's too cold to capsize or roll, it's too cold to kayak. Consider more appropriate clothing and more training.
