- Getting In & Out of an Inflatable Kayak - The Principles -
I've done a few videos on this subject but never really talked about the principles that make it easy and safe to do... So let's do that!

Superb video yet again, nice and clear. Being a beginner this is a little demon i need to face getting in/out from docks. I've been pure shoreline, i'll give this a go now, looks like i'll have to crack out the rope to. Cheers
Once you get used to it, it's a doozy 😁👍
Thanks for this. My paddle vessel is an Itiwit Packraft 100, and I think that most of my ins and outs will be from my sailing boat (which you can see on my channel and about equivalent to your high dock) and on beaches. The Packraft is quite tippy so I will need a lot of practice (I need to test my flipping moment without freezing to death). I'm looking forward to warmer spring weather!
A packraft, tippy?! Really!
What craft have you got? They're renowned for being quite the opposite 🤔😊
Glad I found this as I have just bought an inflatable and have no idea how to get in it lol. So thank you.
You're welcome 👍😁 what boat have you got?
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner It is an Intex K2 Challenger.
@@leeedsonetwo that's what I started with years ago before I started on YT 👍😁
Thank you so much, great tutoriel!
You're welcome 😄 I'm glad you found it useful 👍
Just brought an inflatable kayak for my 5 year old and myself and have not done it for 30 years, lol. We got canals walking distance from me. My biggest fear is this getting in and out. We have a lot of locks near us as well
@@redcoat1355 you'll get used to it a again 👍😊
What boat have you bought?
@MoreThanJustaCleaner 2 man Intex Challenger Kayak for now. I had done a bit of research, and these had good reviews for low-budget Kayak. As I get into more I'll upgrade it. I love your videos, I have been going through the beginner videos, they are so useful. Thank you
@@redcoat1355 yeah they're a good entry level craft. I had one years ago and when I restarted I got the Challenger K1 as you might have seen.
Watching this over and over now I am a kayak owner lol.
Lol that's good practice 👍😁
Great video, mate. Where I'm paddling at the moment I can only do water launches - so wet feet / legs.
I'm hoping to find somewhere I can do a 'dock' launch like these ones.
Lee, the Cockney Kayaker keeps a towel spread at the foot end for just such situations. It absorbs the water from his feet and stops it sloshing in the craft - good idea :)
Hi Karl I eventually got my backside into the RazorX1 drop stitch, as everyone mentioned they are tippy, but after a while you get used to it
I followed your advice and went with the gel cushion and Thankyou,
Is there a more comfortable seat to purchase that doesn’t collapse under your backside, something a little more rigid than the bog standard seat
The internal width is about 18”
Thankyou and keep up the amazing work👍👍
I've never bought additional seats - I've only ever added cushions. I'm happy to send you some recommendations if you want??
Jon of Ruff Paddling (on RUclips) favours this seat amzn.to/3UxeOHU It's got a really high back and inflatable base/bladder that is removeable if you want to swap it out for something else.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner Thankyou very much
Keep up the good work

Karl can you show a clip of you getting out of your dropstitch kayak onto a high pontoon please
All our pontoon seem to be higher ones😂
I've done a video on it - ruclips.net/video/gGCe9mlHIv4/видео.html
What do you do in a shallow water area without any walls for support,
Here you go - ruclips.net/video/HVzz8sIwwic/видео.html
I will have to show this to mark to help him. To be fare he had only ever got in on a lake before it was his first time on a canal and it was a big drop on chesterfield canal
The big drops are the most daunting. I have no doubt they put a lot of people off from even trying 😬
Great video. How would you get in with a young child if it were just the two of you? Would you get in, then try and grab her off the side from your seat? My daughter is a small 5 year old and will try in the next few days, but this is my plan. I'm not sure if it's right.
@@redcoat1355 that's a really good question and not having kids it's not something I've thought about. I think I'd be more inclined to hold the boat steady while she got in, because being small she's not going to tip it. Then I'd follow the method here and get in behind her.
Please let me know what you do and how you get on 👍😁
@MoreThanJustaCleaner that's a better idea more safer. I'll try that and let you know. Thanks again
@@redcoat1355 you're welcome 👍😊
@MoreThanJustaCleaner that worked out well went out today. I put her in first and took her out first. I capsized today as well. In the last part where we launched, I got her out, and then I didn't tie the kayak was lazy/ overconfident and boom straight in the cannal 😂
@@redcoat1355 some pluses and minuses then 😬😅
Even watching this i'm metally fighting the idea that it will just tip or roll over 😅
We all go through that feeling :)
💖👍
You like it? 😊

Did you do much at the weekend
Cheers Joseph... Yes this weekend I went wild camping in Sherwood Forest and did some archery! 😀👍
