Fishing Kayak surf lesson with Adam and Jasmine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2018
- Keen to explore more offshore kayak fishing options Adam & Jasmine joined me for some surf basics at Noosa main beach. In this lesson I am helping Adam & Jasmine with confidence in launching and landing in the surf.
We cover the Brace, forward strokes into on coming waves, picking which waves to ride and which to come in sideways in the broach & low brace technique.
After only a couple of hours you will see that these guys grow in confidence with each run, we have a few spills and a lot of fun. More of this kind of practice helps not only with the skills but the paddle fitness and there’s nothing like that feeling of riding a great wave in - best Adrenalin rush and its free thanks to mother nature.
Kayaks - Jasmine and I are in the Viking kayaks Espri, with Adam using his Viking Profish 400

Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us. I have a oldtown bigwater 132, but for ocean fishing. I have had my eye on a viking.
This is great thanks for putting this video out i will definitely be watching it over again to practice on my kayak!
welcome thanks for watching - hope it helps
Excellent fun and informative at the same time. It's always great to watch someone who is both very competent and having an absolute blast as this video shows. Thanks for sharing. I'm rekindling the love with my yak here in Sydney! Cheers and thanks - Dave
Brilliant video. I've only done kayaking on Lakes and rivers. I need to try this. 👍🙏
its a blast i can promise you
Awesome video - from California here. Great lessons.
A great vid. What a super way to build confidence. I'm quite conservative in my approach as I often go out by myself. I check the weather in every which way so as to avoid bigger surf.
Awesome footage. And great a lesson, for any type of kayak.
very useful, thanx for the upload
This is a vibe. 🤙🏻
thank you for this awesome video
Enjoyed this vid and the tips
Muy buen video!
Excelente, se disfrutan muchos tus vídeos y se aprende mucho de ellos!! Hermosos esos kayaks, saludos desde Argentina!!
Thank you for your kind words...really appreciate the feedback and your support
Great vid cool shots
Brilliant video
Great video mate, I really want to try this in my sit-on 🙂
Awesome man, we are gonna give it a go in 2 weeks, hopefully with some success. Great video, thanks man
Thanks, Mate - best of luck have a blast!
Woooo, bendiciones
i always find it easier to launch out versus coming in. i don't have any problem with that. i need more practice coming in as i always try to let the wave roll under me and then i do a speed burst to get in and this brace technique will help with when im very shallow to the beach as the wave can't roll under anymore.
that's the one - side brace and broach the kayak is at times the best way to come into the beach - takes practice to know when to make the kayak come in sideways but that's all part of the fun in playing in the waves - once you master it adding a set of thigh braces will make it poss to do the same in bigger surf and remain in total control
That looks dam fun!
Awesome 👌
Wow good to see how that a fishing kayak can go side saddle to the breakers
Beginner brace short. Experience brace usually a bit longer further away from kayak more leverage.
Having fun.
Rather a sit in than a sit out. Skirt keeps you dry?
Ye bro. Good vid.
Thanks mate
That is awesome. Wish I lived closer, that is something I'd love to get instruction on.
/Fish thanks mate
Epic....
thanks mate
🤲👍😀👍👏🏼🤲👏🏼😀 Aventura super legal 👍😀👍😀👍😀👍😀🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 .
Noice sesh jase!
thanks mate
just went out on my fishing kayak for the first time. The launch was a lot easier than i expected. I got smashed on the way back in. Ill be sure to try the broaching and bracing technique. Would you say its a good idea to try turning the kayak parallel in shallow water first with small waves, getting in the bracing and broaching position and letting the waves push me in? once i get more comfortable i plan on going out deeper and deeper, close to the break zone and implementing some paddling and bracing and broaching. Thanks for the advice man!
Glad to hear the info can help and absolutely yes just play in the small stuff and progress up to get used to how much leaning is required..this way you will better understand how the kayak responds in different waves
Ahh surf kayaking. The first time i died on the water...
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm trying to teach myself these techniques but it is scary. Would you recommend a carbon fibre paddle for surfing?
yes, carbon gives you the best control and it's lighter which may only be grams but after a good session in the surf all the little things count!
Great video - am I right that you're using a low angle paddle? I thought I'd need a high angle paddle for taking my kayak in the surf
this is super coo! does the weight of the kayak have any bearing? My sit on top kayak is 38kg so I'm wondering if there's any danger of getting knocked out/falling on me when doing something like this
Can i do this with my tarpon 120
What are the braces you have on your legs and where can you buy them? I have just purchased an Esprit. Thanks Mike
where are you from ? these are available in NZ and AU - called Mission Thigh Braces - you will need a fit kit also - go to Viking kayaks and ask for them
Can you do an Eskimo Roll in that thing?
What kind of backseat did you use?
What if you add a small pair of outriggers. Could it add some stability?
No just spend some time practising in the surf....if you are having trouble then the kayak might not be right for the environment- outriggers will get smashed off in my opinion
What swell levels do u go out in (in a kayak) fishing around mudjimba island?? Thanks
What ever your comfortable in. Is your question about the swell around the island and fishing in close or the swell at the beach launch?
@@PaddleGuy1 i'm more just worried about the swell levels around the island when i'm out there fishing.
what kind of kayak's are being used?
Kayaks - Jasmine and I are in the Viking kayaks Espri, with Adam using his Viking Profish 400
Seems like cheap boat from coast co much more suitable than expansive carbon surfski is that right??
Quality plastic kayaks are certainly better to learn surf in then risking breaking a glass ski on learner mistakes - just for some context for you though these guys love their offshore kayak fishing and use Viking Kayaks Sit On tops (quality product made in NZ and def not available at a Cosco assuming thats what you meant to write) - they are learning to get out and back in the surf to prepare them for summer pelagic fishing so we use the kayaks they will be fishing from. If your wanting to play in the surf just for fun and will eventually use a glass surf craft then certainly start out in a plastic kayak suited for surf then go for the glass version as they certainly perform better then plastic for surfing
@@PaddleGuy1 understood.. I have pe kayak and i wiil try with sit on plastic one which is ava at online(made in china) cause i am not serious surfer
I wish you would have explained the reasoning behind these maneuvers.
Thanks - I do in other videos on my channel around surf - whats the key thing you did not understand from this lesson?
Where is this place to take the course ?
No course just me helping friends - we live on the Sunshine Coast, Australia - where are you from?
Paddle Guy , far away. USA.
@@PaddleGuy1 Hi from the Gold Coast :) I'm looking to buy my first kayak. I've had a bit of experience with the Espri through rentals but I'm tossing up between the Espri and the Viking Javelin. Which would you suggest for a beginner? I'd ideally like to use it around the local waterways as well as the surf once I get some practice and more confident. Loved the video btw :) looks like heaps of fun
@@NeilSahay thanks heaps ! And Espri 💯 best choice for you with far more versatility - and you will also get years of fun as it’s not a kayak you will grow out of easily as it’s just so capable. Have you seen my review of it ? Will find the link for you

do you have to wear helmets?
Jonny Gross that’s a choice for the person learning - waves like these not so ness
Ira cl
Also: Always have a helmet and life jacket on! 😠
surfing fishing kayak with around 100 plus lbs of additional weight? With a fishing bag, sometimes with 100 lbs of fish, live well, fishfinder, offshore rods, gaff, etc??? Unfortunately, reality is not always like this video shows when you are having fun with an empty kayak.
I think you missed the point mate - for first timers practise with no gear is critical in this environment to get the basics before you go loading up for a fishing session - this will arm you with the knowledge to know what you and your kayak can handle - we don't "surf play" with fully loaded kayaks, when fully loaded its called protect your gear and get in safely, but without some experience in surf you wont know the difference between whats safe and whats not for your ability and craft... if you have seen my other videos you will see I know whats its like to come through surf fully loaded, and for me that's not the time for play as it gets expensive when you over commit - good spectator sport though- take time to practise and the rest is easy
Paddle Guy I agree with you, if you make a video of how to return to the beach in rough surf fully loaded, it would be extremely useful for many kayakers
