This is definitely where I see most people fall in. It’s the launching and exiting of the boat literally sometimes. It’s so funny to watch people try to do it from the dock as well I always tell them that’s not how you want to get in your kayak. Do you want to do this at the boat ramp or the shoreline

Thanks Chad! This was just the type video I was searching for tonight considering I just got my first fishing kayak (2021 Ascend 128X) and taking it on its maiden voyage this coming weekend. Thanks again. Keep up the tip videos, many of us can use them. I see lots of noobs end up in the water for things that can be avoided.

I am extremely lucky to live in a place where the state installs actual kayak launches and docks so the only time I have to mess around with launching is when I pull up on remote beaches and such. So glad I found this video for those few times though!

@@ChadHooverFishing Idaho! Just about every dock anywhere in southern and east Idaho has kayak docks and launches. They are well maintained as well!

@camorrisiii Жыл бұрын

I’m glad to see that I launch and land the proper way. I used to make the mistake of launching bow in first and landing bow first. Those concrete ramps are like cheese graters on a keel. Fortunately I learned after my first time. I learned a lot from KZfaq. Great video, thanks for the demo. Have fun out there and be safe.

You answered a huge question for this old man who isn't as svelte as he used to be. My mobility and balance slowly fades away as I get older, yet I am looking at kayaks to get me off the bank. I'm 67 and will retire in the near future and just want to spend my retirement years fishing. Thanks for this video. It makes complete sense and it wasn't intuitive, at least, not to me. But then, I'm not known to be a master of the obvious.
