    Made that look easy - good job. Just bought an ORU. Can't wait for it to arrive.

    Your paddle is asymmetric and you are using it upside down. The clue is in the graphic! you should be able to clearly read the Celtic logo. and like awenzl says never let go of your boat.

      Keith Clague Doing rescues but paddling upside down with your paddle?
      Always new stuff to learn.
      Try scrambling on the rear deck as this paddle float rescue takes too long in cold water.
      Scrambles are very easy in calm waters and get you quickly out of the water.

    Why are you paddling with your kayak paddle upsidedown? Just wondering, maybe there's a reason.

    I think the paddle is being used upside down.

    That's hard work! Nice to see how stable the Oru is when you're making reentry. Where did you film this and what was the water temperature? Looks like you had the entire bay all to yourself.

      Is in Southend-on-Sea, 5:00am that’s why it wasn’t busy, the water must’ve been 15C I imagine.

      He also didn't captize which is the main problem with the Oru kayak and self rescue: You get tons of water in the boat and it's impossible to bilge it while swimming. So you have to reenter in a kayak full of water which is very unstable.

    Will you do a video about your gopro mount on the oru kayak?

    I'm thinking of buying the Oru Bay ST, but I'm used to doing a self-rescue with the "cowboy" reentry. Is the deck strong enough to support scrambling on top?

      @@alexmariusbalan Oh nice, yeah that's how I do it - with a greenland paddle too. Is that the Oru bay or the longer one? I'm used to paddling a Pygmy arctic tern 17 that I built 10 yrs ago, but worried I won't like the speed/glide of the shorter oru bay. I do want the lightness and portability.

    • @alexmariusbalan
      @alexmariusbalan  5 лет назад

      Don’t forget the Oru is no where near as stiff as a hard shell or skin on frame.
      My one is the 12ft Oru Bay+.

      @@alexmariusbalan Cool. thanks. So being less stiff, does that affect the glide or absorb/waste energy with each paddle stroke?

    • @alexmariusbalan
      @alexmariusbalan  5 лет назад

      Phrancis5 I wouldn’t say with each stroke but in rough water when you’d need all the control it will flex

    That’s not a realistic self rescue because in reality you’d be doing it in rough water and you wouldn’t be jumping off your kayak a wave would’ve knocked you upside down so then what your kayak will be full of water and when you get back on it will sink. The bottom line don’t ho out in rough water not with that kind of a kayak.

      Hi Edward,
      I feel the passion in your comment, you’re probably right. Is this the the more “realistic” self rescue you’re looking for? ruclips.net/video/OL2Ynzw_Ccs/видео.html
