67 year old guy here - returning to the sport after 20+ years away. Not as strong as I used to be. I've watched maybe a dozen videos to refresh my memory of how to get in and out of a kayak. This is BY FAR the most helpful. Thank you very much for posting.

See all these comments of plus sized people being inspired or more comfortable to kayak? This is what representation does! ❤️❤️ I’m a plus size man who loves the outdoors, seeing another plus size person shown active, out in nature; and educating proper kayak use almost made me emotional. What a great video!

You have to have a video with a plus sized person to feel comfortable. That sounds like a YOU problem. Man seriously pathetic.

I have been kayaking for about 2 or 3 years now. I have always just walked in knee deep and plopped in. Then hop back out in knee deep water. I even put a paracord on my bow that i hold so dont lose it. I am gonna finally try this technique

@lysan1445 6 ай бұрын

That was fun! On the beach, there's another method: the kayak parallel to the shore, as in the video, but then step over the kayak so it is between your legs. Then sit down in the cockpit and put your legs in. Of course, that only works if the width of the boat and the length of your legs are compatible😂. Docks can be tricky when the water level is very low and the dock high above the boat. After putting my feet into the kayak as in the video, I turn my body around, keeping a good grip on the dock, and lower myself slowly into the boat.

Thank you! I just always got in, with my kayak on the edge of the shore, and my son pushed me out, LOL! I don't have him for that anymore, but they have put in a new dock after ripping the old one out years ago, and it even has a humongous plastic kayak-launching chute. I had to go and watch how other people used it, because I couldn't figure it out, LOL!
