@ianpatterson6202 4 жыл бұрын

I have been paddling for more years than i can count and i have heard the "don't want to get stuck upside down" so many times, the first lesson in a Kayak should be the wet exit, that way if the roll goes wrong you are confident at getting out which after a couple of times to get your confidence will be easy.

@robertdavis6223 4 жыл бұрын

that's good advice. the first time i ever paddled a kayak was at a dealer demo on the chesapeake bay. i wanted to see how quickly i could pivot a seventeen foot boat, and my sweep turned into an unintentional pry stroke against the light surf. i capsized and having no experience rolling, instinctually pulled the evac webbing on the spray skirt, and executed an immediate wet exit. i managed to not lose the $400 paddle or the $3000 boat, and swam both 50 yards back to shore (no paddle float, no bilge pump, no idea). in retrospect i was surprised how cleanly i had managed the wet exit, and have since felt it should be taught as a fundament (maybe it is, i've never taken any kind of kayaking lesson - but i probably should). i was fortunate to have been fairly agile and situationally aware, and to have visualized the wet exit before i got into the boat. not everyone will have those things going for him or herself first time in the saddle.

I used the wet exit the first time I capsized after cocking up in the surf, I got sideways and actually let go of my paddle to hold my hand out lol, so with no paddle as a total newbie i did the exit and was pleased to still be alive lol, My instructor was no not so happy that he had to do a sea rescue on me though as we were heading for rocks. Was a fun experience anyway lol.

After that, do the same in your kayak but in very shallow water were you can easily touch the ground. Concentrate on the hipsnap and the position of the head. Step three would be in deeper water, wearing diving glasses and with a paddle float for more support. You'll just feel which movement takes the less effort: that is the right one.

@METhOdhowtoKilLnoObS Pretty sure that mine is elastic. Pretty new to kayaking so I have just had it out on calm lakes trying to get my skills up, and get used to how tippy it feels. I've always used canoes before I got this kayak. I never use it right now because I am avoiding deep or rough water at all cost... just putt-putt around the lake edge, but I did look at it and I think the elastic snaps in and there is a little pull handle/loop to help pop it off the cowling. My Yak is also more of a touring/camping type, so it will seldom see white water... the skirt would keep rain out nicely. Thanks for the coment, and keep the good advice for noobs coming - we need all the help tha we can get. :)

It's important to learn the concept of remaining calm during a potentially dangerous situation. These maneuvers can be practiced rather safely if you remain calm. Panicking during a situation like this can definitely increase the risk of drowning. Even I feel panicked when watching this and imagining myself trying it. VERY COOL THOUGH! 😎

Great point. You can always just punch out (wet exit) and regroup. People should probably practice wet exiting so they can do it without having to think about it.

Tried to do this as soon as i got my kayak some years ago. After one attempt i felt like i really needed some air, so did a wet exit instead, and practiced re-entry until i had learned the technique. Never tried another roll, but think maybe i should practice some more so i can feel confident enough to [hopefully] take my kayak for a week or 2 on the ocean next summer :P

What type of Kayak skirt do you suggest be used whilst practicing the roll?

@PaddleTV 3 жыл бұрын

The type of skirt doesn't really matter too much. The biggest issue is how tight the skirt is on the kayak when you're learning. You want it to be tight enough to hold the cockpit rim, but loose enough so that you're not nervous about getting it off if you need to wet exit.

Hey Nathanael, good question. If you're doing it right, you should be engaging your core and therefore, you shouldn't hurt your back. It's all about technique. Nylon skirts tend to come off the combing, so we'd suggest sticking with a neoprene skirt, as they tend to have a better seal. Hope that helps and happy rolling!

If you watch from 9:03, there you see C2C. In couple of occasions the narration mentions C2C but the video shows sweep roll (or vice-versa). However, in C2C roll you basically have a slight pause when you position the paddle perpendicular to the kayak while you are still bent towards the surface. In sweep roll you don't have this kind of pause but it is one continuous movement.

@thewhiskeycowboy-official 5 жыл бұрын

@@kime3933 rolling is a faster way to recover from a tip over. However, unlike in the video, you will seldom to never be in the optimal position before you accidentally tip/roll over. If you do the set up like in the video, you will be able to roll all day long. But that is not LIFE. Learning how to get your paddle in the right position AFTER you tip over, as opposed to BEFORE (as the video shows) is key to doing this in real world situations. The video is like watching self defense techniques being taught, but the attacker never REALLY attacks, and always does what YOU want them to do..... it is unrealistic, except in a dance. Getting your paddle into correct position when you roll the opposite side, or even the "strong" side, but you did not already have your paddle along side the kayak is not as easy as it might appear... because you have to move it through water to GET to that position (unlike how in the video he STARTS with it there before he even rolls). This along with the chance of losing hold of the paddle when you roll accidentally is why a "wet exit" should always be learned FIRST (IMO). And it can come in handy should you panic while trying to recover with a full roll. A wet exit is getting out of the kayak after it has rolled and you are under water. And NO, it is not difficult. Here is a video of it.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNJ6ed2a19yXXXk.html

In addition to the footrest/kneepad power move others have mentioned, some people may find it useful to put padding on both sides of their seat so that their hips are snug in their seats. That sounds uncomfortable, but you don't need a huge pad, and you do get accustomed to it. Those things together make you feel that the kayak is part of you, and you can move it just by knee and hip action. I only mention this because I have seen it done wrong: you need to wear a spray skirt when paddling in areas where a roll might be needed.
