This is simple and to the point. Thanks. New kayak with smaller cockpit. I’m finding different kayaks require different enter / exit strategies. Thanks.

Nice vid and good info. Great kayak, I have the very same Sirocco, love it!!!

I've been kayaking a few times now, and I never realized there were official ways to get in and out of the kayak... I always just get in it and go lol.

Thank you Lorenzo Lamas.

Good job Fabio!!

Try doing things with short legs and arthritic hips. Thanks for the thought though.

There's also The Cisco Kid method where you take a run at breakneck speed from the shore, leap half the kayak and land in the seat. One wrinkle they never mention is when you're old and the bladder don't work (panic dismount). The boys & girls in a power boat just had to follow me so I went in a tiny secluded alcove of fallen trees & branches to pee, stepped out & my foot slid on a slimy submerged tree then into mud slime 12 inches deep and I fell face first into the 6" water with a few feet of black mud slime under it, grazed my shin and filled the kayak with swamp water smelling of old cabbages.

Everyone teaches the paddle behind the back thing. It's awkward as hell. I don't recommend it. The straddle works well though.

In both entering and exiting my kayak, i use method #2. So easy.

I do the straddle. No marks for style but it works for me.

I never imagined how many things a total knee replacement was going to affect.

I never touch one foot in the water getting in or out ! Especially in November when the water is too cold

nice guide 👌

YOU CAN ALL SO RUN AND GET A HEAD START AND JUMP INTO THE KAYAK FEET FIRST WHILE YOU RAISE YOUR HANDS HIGH IN THE AIR . 🏕🏞💦🛶💦💫🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻💨

How to repair chain saw pulling sydtem

thats easy for you Mr. Skinny, good hair with good working legs! lol,lol,lol...

This method does not work well in a river system with steep banks. Getting out and in a kayak is easy in a lake as you can easy ground your kayak as you are doing in this video

I was looking for a way to get in and out without getting my feet/legs wet. That sound a bit wimpy but the water temperature is about 53 F now (may 23).

What about when the shore drops off rapidly?

How about rough water, unlike these perfect conditions?

why dont Kayak manufacturers make sit in kayaks with a lot bigger openings? it would be alot easier t get in and out of for those who only kayak for fun or for olde or fatter people. sit ons are great but sometimes I like my sit in, its just hard for me to exit with any bit of grace with my bad leg. lol Entering isnt to bad if I do it with the boat in really shallow water so it doesnt flip!! lol..

Great demo aside from the music !

Cheap rec kayak: step in and carefully lower yourself into the seat. Straddle method OW!

straddle for me pretty easy

Hahaha....no! Never would I do this to my paddle

Didn't make it into your kayak with either of these methods? That's a paddlin.

I keep seeing the same "paddle behind you" method but most fancy carbon paddles would break doing this, no?? I'm straddling. Period.

As you snap your 500 dollar paddle

Snap

При таком размере «очка» достаточно стать над лодкой, опустить на сиденье задницу, а затем заправить по очереди ноги. И не нужно ломать весло.

*pos* just like mine, need to get rid of it; the opening should be L O N G E R so that you can exit IDE in a hurry, if it overturns instead of D R O W N I N G ; forget about the effing rolls!! avoid
