Three gentlemen set off from Carmel River State Beach for a morning of fishing. Two make it off the beach with no issues. The third in the party runs into trouble.
OMG! This is my husbands friend. My husband is the first kayaker in black that you recorded going out. When they came home they were laughing hysterically telling me about this incident. We have been laughing hysterically watching this. I'm so stoked someone recorded this. They have gopro footage from the other direction but it didn't turn out.
I licensed it out. If I get anything from it I'll share some with the star of the video. I felt bad for him after the first couple of minutes but he really wasn't in danger and seemed determined to launch. Thanks for the comment.

Epc performance. Great job cameraman! This will live an eternity as one of the greatest launch lessons of all time! Thank you!
I don't want to say too much because the poor guy might read this, but there are some obvious lessons here.
1. Don't get between your kayak and the beach. That's a good way to get hurt.
2. Time the set.
3. Walk the kayak out. Yes, you feet will get wet. Big deal.
4. Keep the nose pointed into the waves until you are past the break.
5. Unless you absolutely know what you are doing, paddle hard as soon as you are in the kayak until you are past where the waves are breaking.
If you can't handle foot-high surf without being injured and having a yard sale on the beach, sell the boat and go to Red Lobster.
epic
Harsh. But funny. But yeah, I have to launch in stuff way bigger than that every time I kayak. Out of maybe 100 launches, I've only flipped the kayak once...and even then, I was back in seconds later.
Oh god, it hurts, it hurts from laughing.... please put a musical score to this clip!!
Don Rickles performing his famous "Ode to Kayaking" routine. Genius!
I don't understand. There's literally an entire nice sandy beach to launch away from, but these guys chose to launch right next to rocks?
Sometime next the the rocks you can find a channel to enter in the sea with less waves breaking, but you have to know what you are doing. the sea can be very mean to the beginners
the worst place on the beach to launch. He appears to have limited experience and lacks fitness. He is a danger to himself and will use valuable rescue resources to aid in his incompetence if he ever got to sea.
Learn to fish from the beach mate. Its safer.
Aquaboy so useless than aquaman... Bullshit.
let the guy learn, the sea is hard in the beggining, but is amazing when you learn.
the place is not the worst for the launch. and you are a great arrogant idiot! ;)
They told me I would have a blast... so the fun should start any minute now.
This is kinda sad to watch... he doesn't have the physical fitness for it. Can barely stand up out of the surf. Also seems to not have the proper aggressive mindset for a challenging surf launch. "Soup sandwich."
I saw this video sped up with a Benny hill song playing, it was much funnier that way
mitch mclean Yes Mitch, Jukin Media licensed the video from me and chopped it down for their format. I like what they did too.
I think of this video every time I launch from the surf. Agonizing yet fun to watch lol it's as if he doesn't realize the ocean moves.
3.25 did he just tell the kayak to stay there lmaoo spongebob on a kayak
It's very apparent this guy was in no condition to be on the water, to begin with.
He couldn't even make up his mind what to do/save first! Or even a safe place , away from the surf
He should've waited till they were done fishing before he smoked that joint! Hahaha.
Glade he didn't get injured in his little fiasco though
"Drink responsibly"
Was not drunk and is not demented at all. He was with two other friends and frankly got caught up in a couple of sets that were heavier than the ones his friends launched through. I think he was embarrassed and didn't want to give in to defeat. He did eventually launch.
That is a nice ending. I was like "omg" through the video. Poor fella. I just bought a kayak and i'm afraid this would be me lol. but if I don't go out there and catch fish then who will eh? haha
He should have pulled his equipment up on the beach immediately, piece by piece, AWAY from reach of the water. Then reinstall everything, THINK, and try again with the correct timing with the waves.
he snot even trying to solve any bloody issues hahahaha
At this point you give up and say “this ain’t my thing”.
Feel really bad for this guy. To be fair, the shorebreak did noticeably increase during his attempt compared to the first guy's launching.
I agree. 5 minutes after this the sets calmed. He and his pals already offshore enjoyed a successful fishing outing.
An exhausted old man. Big ups for trying.
This guy is a kayak master! lmaooo
I watch this video to cry laughing because I used a recreational kayak K1 intex to paddle out to Old Soaker in Acadia National park in a dry suit as the first to land and film on the island. Extremely dangerous. This video is a fun time. Tie down that stuff cause it will float away instantly haha
Cue the Benny Hill music!! Wow!!! What a ride!!!
Why would you launch so close to the rocks where the water gets flung in all directions? That was truly really funny!
And not one SOB even so much as offered to give the poor guy a hand. Not cool.
Which would include his two friends just offshore. He was not in danger of drowning.
I didn't think that was very good spot either. I reckon its mostly common sense but, we all know how rare that has become!;)
at 2:38 if things went just slightly differently he could easily have been concussed by the kayak hitting him in the head
It’s all about the views. People would rather record and laugh at someone than to help them out as long as they can get some views and be “cool”
@@MikeMoraCalifornia You're a dick. Rather film than help.
This guy was over his skill level. Which for kayaking in surf it was zero. This cove was mild to what it could be in a few hours. He should have stayed on the beach and have a glass of wine.
That never stopped being funny
I’m probably going to hell for laughing at this 😂😂
This is comedy gold 😂 please tell me this is a framed video? As soon as i saw no paddle leash i knew he was a complete amateur.
They will admit they are not pros at this! 🙂
Clearly this person doesn't belong on the water.
nobody belong to the water, you learn to deal with the water. to the beginners is more hard, but everybody is beginners sometime
@@sergiolafayetecerutti3325 but beginners need guidance or they can end up dead
His tactics were really bad and the Ocean Prowler kayak he has does not cut the waves well at all it has zero keel and likes to spin in circles when a wave hits. You gotta paddle like hell to keep it straight and break through the surf.
Lol! Charlie Chaplin could not have delivered a finer performance.
Yeah everyone says hes in no condition to launch his Kayak..
Worst part is that his "friends" left him alone..
That ocean kicked that dude ass...
Lol
Legend has it this guy is still trying to launch his kayak
I tried launching a kayak a couple months ago on the beach. I gained a 150 pounds so I’m 350 pounds. Needless to say it was a disaster and I’m way too out of shape to do it. After seeing all the people laugh and point at me I left the kayak on the beach along with my fishing rods and cart and equipment. Walked to my car and left. Some lucky person now has a $1500 kayak and $600 worth of accessories free
I'm certain no laughing in this clip is pointed towards the kayaker on a personal level. I'm sorry you had a negative experience with your launch effort. I'd suggest anyone taking on any new skill to consult an instructor. The three kayakers in this video arrived, unloaded and confidently dragged the equipment down a cliff trail to launch. There was never a doubt they had done it before. You will note his mates yelling encouragement to him. Had he been in any danger they would have paddled back in.
This video simply chronicles one unfortunate launch that in the end was rather funny.
Oh dear. Time to learn in flat water!!
Reminds me of the first time my dad tried to use a ski lift.
At least the eski floated well because it was empty.
Looks like he's never seen a wave. From Iowa me thinks.
This was funny as hell all the way thru
Poor fella.. just has no idea.
Yes. Much safer for him to remain on shore.
He clearly has no idea what he's doing.
just leaves his shit behind
Man this guys was struggling like it was 2016
Struggling like 2020.
this was painful to watch... at what point do you grab your yak and pull it out of harms way? this must have been his first outing
they are jumping on the kayak way too close to shore😂
He is obviously not experienced. And the other guys let him alone to launch last. Nice friends.
Either very overwhelmed or slightly drunk or both.
Good footage but you should have helped him - i would have ! Poor bugger got a story to tell now though haha
LMAO!!! I have launched this site many times. Never had a problem as it is one of the easiest places to launch. But one must NEVER get overconfident, and always stow your gear gear as if you WILL get flipped by a wave. It happens to everyone. But this was hilarious! I would have been rolling on the ground peeing myself had I been there.
Never get between your boat and the beach. The boat becomes a missile. The last guy has it toughest, no one to steady him or give the push. Also, thigh straps help in surf, however this is not bad surf at all. I use to launch from the Jersey shore.
Guy looks high as heck
Why in the hell would you try to launch right there in that ruff ass water with nothing leashed down?
I couldn't stop laughing !!!!
The cooler was more seaworthy that day
Mate ,tell that guy to sell everything,before he drowns in six inches of water.He should not be anywhere near a kayak or water craft,FOR HIS OWN SAFETY...
Glad they made it safely
Should be titled "Man learns how surf works". I hope this was a joke. He only had one rod and an apparently empty cooler so possibly just a gag.
I watched the three fishermen unload and drag their kayaks and gear down to the beach. Decided to film the launches. The first two got off fine but this guy couldn't get it together. Perfectly normal guys and not drunk or high or anything. If you note the last few seconds he did get out to his friends beyond the breakers
Nice catch then. Not saying I could launch better in that surf but I hope I would choose a better area or just stay home and watch youtube fishing vids ;) A man has to know his limitations. Nice video.
Thanks 911Tech. An older guy watching, a retired surgeon from the local hospital was there with me. He kept saying this was heavy water. I had no idea what he was talking about because I had just moved to Carmel.
Now I know heavy water is a relentless swell. Had he waited 15 minutes more the sets did settle and he could have pushed off easily. Thanks for the comment.
There is no way anybody can be that stupid to stand behind akayak as it crashes to shore?
He was not drunk, impaired or stupid. He got caught up against heavy water in a cove he should have worked away from.
You didn't think to give him a hand...?
You didn't think to read previous comments about that?
I’ve launched kayaks many times. He should’ve grabbed the front and just walked it out just past the breakers. Then jump on. Paddle straight into the waves.
Why didn't anyone help?
All the gear and NO IDEA!!!!!
I may be several years late, but classically funny nonetheless.
Pretty funny to watch. Guy is perfectly save. Just some thoughts though, Always tie down your ice chest. 2nd, always paddle into the waves, it will prevent from flipping over which happened to him repeatedly.
Ty, X la laughing. .............ng so hard, LMAO.....
he should not have been there. Not enough experience for that water. amazing he didn't give up earlier.
as fellow kayak fisherman, is it a sin to laugh out loud?
bout pissed my pants at the 240 mark
Is this guy drunk? Everyone messes up a surf launch sometimes but this... It's like watching Clark Griswold going kayaking for the first time.
edit: I just got to 4:00 what the fuck dude. Go get your box and go home. Come back tomorrow, sober, and ask someone to teach you.
i was going too a kayak one day not now
It seems cold to sit and laugh.
If you looked at the entire video or read a couple of comments you wouldn't have that opinion.
Mr McGoo goes fishing ! :P
This illustrates perfectly why, in about ten or fifteen years, fishing kayaks will be in abundance at garage sales for $10.
Lots of people laughing at him and none helping. Amazing how people would just rather take the piss out of the guy than give the help he needed.
You failed to read any of the comments.
By 2:35 one has to conclude the ocean is telling him to stuff off!
Don't care whether someone is in danger or not - you see someone struggle, you go and help. To not do so is unacceptable in a civilised society. Don't film the f*cking thing for your own amusement.
As to saying it wasnt a dangerous situation - a 25 kg kayak with another 10 kg of gear, thrown around by hundreds of kilograms of water next to rocks has a hell of a lot of potential for danger. One trip and its serious head injury.
It plainly isnt true that he couldn't be helped. His rod and paddle while he beached the yak and retrieved the coolbox, or really I think just a bit of help with orientation.
I agree with some of the other posters though, with the greatest respect to people who know the star - this person shouldnt be on the sea. Plus, no paddle leash ... seesh.
since when has the human race ever been civilised?!
Inexperienced kayaker for sure.
Get in the boat first and then scoot into the water. lol
Not sure they are his "mates" because they aint helping him
What are people like that thinking,do they even think.This must be in the US
Did you read the description?
Clearly he needed help. This is not someone I would take out with only 2 feet of Waves. Out there you will have to keep and eye on him so not good. Geez 5 foot waves is easily done on any Inflatable Kayak so this guy clearly should not be out there as he does not have the mind set for looking out for Wave patterns, tide changes etc. 500 years ago this guy would not be allowed on any Ship Vessel.
This is exactly why you cant watch a youtube video and think you have learned how to kayak. He just needed instructions on what and what not to do. He ain't hurt maybe sore but you can bet he will remember this next time and if he doesn't learn he will be a statistic. Oh and this is calm water too wait till its a little rough.
That third guy was too hammered or too fkin weak to be there.. these are the types that irritates me. Y try if u can do it just to waste emergency rescuer's time when they could be saving real life accidents.
Well, he didn't give up, I guess he gets points for that. Dumb as a sack of hammers though for trying to launch in that spot with no skill. I hope he got himself some kayak safety lessons!
This dude has no clue
Wrong place to launch from...🤔 a point that sticks out ...swirling 🌊 + nasty rocks dangerous too.........🏴🤪
Don't EVER stand in front of a kayak that is caught in a wave!!!
unencumbered by anything resembling a clue!
Its a joke you silly people. A man is not that stupid and dumb.
very well done I say almost had me fooled, ha ha.
It was all real Cap. He had no idea he was being filmed at all. He's just a determined soul, obviously.
Launching from the surf is definitely not for the novice yakker. He should have not had any gear on his yak for his first time in the surf and one of his friends should have walked him through it.
The fish are farther out in the water mate!
Sorry for assuming you were not disabled my apologies and you are right his two friends suck as well
We're good Bentley. The waves were heavy and inexperience combined with the waves at that spot worked against him.
think some one help him hope he found his fishing rod and rest of his stuff
Was he sober?
Yes, mid morning. Sober and amiable. I spoke with the three kayakers as they unloaded their trucks on the cliff overlooking the setting.
@@MikeMoraCalifornia Could have fooled me😂
must bin drunk he picked the worst place on the beach to lonch
Mid morning. I watched them drag the kayaks down to the beach. All three were sober and ready for an exciting day of fishing. His friends launched fine. He got caught in an extended set. One local bystander called it heavy water. I now understand what that means.
What is even more sad is that no one cared to help this man! Very SAD.
His friends were just offshore. You can hear them yelling words of encouragement in the distance. I've thought for some time since filming this he was clowning a bit. He was never in danger of drowning.
The man was either drunk, high or health condition... Or all of the above.
Not really. I watched them unload the three kayaks and they expertly dropped them down a cliff to the sand. I talked to them and they were excited to launch and catch some fish. It was before 10:00 in the morning.
That guy does not belong on a kayak
Tadinho do coroa...
Fuck me you got to laugh
just stay home and watch tv m8
雛の巣立ちを見てるようだ。てゆーかこの波は危ないと思う。
No no the entire thing g was funny 😆
