I always find getting out of the kayak the hardest after a long paddle. Very nice demonstrations btw!

I'm curious as to why you use a spray skirt on a lake?

What I use is called a drip skirt, it keeps water drops from my paddle from falling into the cockpit and onto my shorts, and keeps the sun and insects off my legs. It also has elastic pockets on the top and underside which are extremely handy for temporarily storing food bars, camera remotes, pee cup, camera, and so much more. A drip skirt has no tunnel around your waist like a spray skirt does.

The most efficient way to turn a kayak is to put it up on edge, flat water or white water. The rim of the cockpit gets real close to the water with aggressive edging, or dips under if you lean too far. As I get more proficient in edging the boat, instead of an open drip skirt, I am starting to wear a full spray skirt which has a tunnel. I often practice edging in the shallow spots of lakes where the water is six inches deep or less, so I can push off the bottom with the paddle if I lean too far, keeping me from turning over.

Really enjoyed you going through your gear. I was especially interested in seeing the camera set up. I’m also using the Gearlab Outdoors Ipik and I love it!

Yes totally agree that those Headwaters’s kayak videos are great instruction, I follow along with those and try to copy just like you are doing. I have found a few other good video resources too, check out the paddle stroke videos done by Tom Nickels, for example. There are many other helpful ones on YT for paddling the touring / sea kayaks, if one just takes the time to find them. Lots of folks don’t realize how much fun it is to have a longer kayak (at least 14 ft) that behaves like a touring kayak should, so you can get the most out of your time on the water - travel faster and further, see more, play more, etc. The Eddylines are great, so are Delta and the Dagger Stratos kayaks, to name a few. Thanks for reminding us to practice!
