Your excellent videos got me into sea kayak expeditions, I still like to watch them over and over again.
Good advice. But what about solo paddlers? 2:00 -- You must be able to self rescue under any conditions that you might paddle in. That means practicing until you can always get back into the boat, regardless of whether there's another kayaker to help. Before you go on the water you need to know how to get back in unassisted. If you can't self rescue, then yes, stay close to shore. But even then beware of an offshore wind and currents that might push you beyond swim range in a short time. Read the Deep Trouble series of kayak books and internalize the lessons. Happy Paddling!
Rob Bartlett Or don't venture past where you can swim to shore.
Use the paddle float and do a wet entry roll... quite easy.
Absolutely correct.
For the West Coast of Scotland add: Admiralty Tides Stream Atlas, Tide Tables and Caledonian MacBrayne Ferry Timetables.
Thank you very much.
This is as good a presentation as I have seen on anything - clear, articulate, and informative.
You do a great job of highlighting the dangers and prevention - I will be sticking to where I can swim to shore!
Amazing, Thanks !!
Hot tip: you can do a 100% sucessful wet entry roll using a paddle float ( see vids). In the water , put float on paddle, setup paddle parallel to kayak. Hold breath, enter kayak and seat, use paddle to roll up.
Next,... skirt on, pump out using paddle as safety. Last, float off. Ive done it in small surf.
I do.lots of solo trips, mostly in tropical Queensland. I have a Plb in my lifejkt pocket, gps with maps , emergency drybag to rip.off on top of rear...
You need to check out- Dancing with the Sea !
Clear and concise overview. Thanks!
You guys are awesome. First your videos are fun to watch. You got some great shots and have some great editing ideas for me to learn. I just made a UA-cam channel so I’m definitely doing my research. Thanks for all your help. - Keep it up! Just subbed!
I have bought a sea kayak and I'm out in the Scottish seas with no experience lol
Set a course for Greenland, report back.
@@happydogg312 I have only fell out once. And that was beaching where there were high breaking waves, from coming in from a distance I couldn’t tell they were breaking waves. So I came back a few weeks later after watching some UA-cam videos, this time I managed to surf my way in. The amount pressure I had to push with with the paddle to keep me from going sideways was crazy. Probably won’t do that again was very close to hitting huge rocks and I don’t wear a helmet
@@happydogg312 It's off the coast of Skye, waves can be huge and can change very quickly. I do need to do more rescue stuff just to be on the safe side.
You should have a bullet proof roll if you venture out to sea. rescues are fine but should not be needed. Rescues in my opinion are still beginner level. Nothing wrong with that level just know your limitations.
Sea?
Better a bullet proof brace to avoid the need to roll
@@trickyricky9953 When a steep 7 foot wave hits you NO brace will help you. I have a picture of exactly that hitting me. Right here. www.dc9mm.x10.mx/wave2.jpg A roll is the only thing that will save you. I have a full video of this as I was wearing a helmet cam. I of course rolled up. ua-cam.com/video/LSvNuzkTP94/v-deo.html
Are there any additional tips for sit on top kayaks?
hey thats the same kayak i have!! Awesome!!
What’s that yellow kayak at about 1:30
My problem will be that I am a great swimmer cuz of boycotting and the trips we took, I have not been in the water for over 15 years. Yeah that's going to be a big deal.
Hey guys , I wanted to buy one advance element inflatable kayak and go around Vancouver islands east coast staying close to shore .
I'm new and it's been two days I'm practicing in a nearby lake . Anyone with any information if it is do able . I feel pretty comfortable in it .
