    A tip for getting in and out of the kayak… use your paddle as a stabilizer but putting it right up to the middle of the boat, vertically down into the water and to the bottom of the water (if it’s not too deep)… works like a charm

    Waxing the paddle is a great tip! I can't wait to try it. Thank you!

    Great vid! I learned I was using dry bags completely wrong and I should definitely go buy some rope :)

    Another good video.... I have a milk crate with fishing rod holders attached for rods. I keep equipment in it as well.

  • @stevegreene5415

    Love the honesty 😂 I just ordered mine and seeing you put the gear bar in is exactly how I would figure it out

    I'm still a bit hesitant on this folding kayak since I'm on the heavier side. Great tips! I usually have a thick folded black towel to soak up water and just wring out the water on long rides. How far do you paddle for? I suggest opening up your hand when it's in the up position while paddling, that allows you to stretch them and also promote a body rolling motion as you do a pushing motion at the top. This allows you to not get tired as quickly.

  • @DaveCop

    Isn't that the foot bar?

  • @Amanda-wi2et

    Did the gear bar come with the kit ..or is it a separate order..? thanks

  • @jimwortham8634

    Thanks for posting I guess could not hear a word

    Is the gear bar supposed to come with every kayak or did you make one yourself?

    I'm sorta bummed when I got mine they decided to discontinue giving the gear bar in and I can be extreme with how I kayak. I could see how when I was in big surf I felt it flex if they would've gave me the bar it would've been better.
