Excellent video! Thank you. Please pay no attention to the ignorant comments on here. You have helped thousands of people enjoy kayaking. That's the bottom line.
I have seen more video , but I think this technique seems to be easier and useful, I will try that when I will get my kayak , which I have ordered. Thank you to share with us.
Very well done. I'm an elementary school teacher and appreciate how clear the steps are. Thank you! Sounds like a place I would like to visit with our family.
That was marvelously done! Good clear explanation. When I kayak with my girls we do something like this. But with more hands on multiple paddles. Once one is in, she holds her sister’s kayak still. Then they take off and leave me to fend for myself….kids today!
for someone who has never done this method or even knew how to get in my kayak from shore in a calm and not akward way, this is a step by step and easy to understand tutorial. sometimes people who think they are experts at things don't remember what they didn't know when they started.
Great demonstration! It will be very useful advice for me, as I am overweight with joint problems, and was worried about how much trouble I will have getting in and out of a kayak, but am looking forward to getting one and peacefully floating around and enjoying being out in nature.
Look at that beautiful skywagon in the background. Thanks for the advise. I've been kayaking for years and nobody ever showed me this trick, and I certainly never thought of it.
I'm new to kayaking and I try search for get in and out kayak but never found anything helpful until RUclips recommend your video. Thanks for this video and thanks RUclips recommend peace enjoy kayaking 😎
Thank you so much as a 64 year old male I’ve been attracted to kayaking but thought I’d only end up facedown body floating and arms flailing all about in the water! My mere thoughts have been for years paddling for serenity and pleasure in my local county pounds we have here in our county. No one until my latest research have ever offered a wetless method of mount dismount of a Kayak before. Many thanks. PS: I will follow up on your lodge whereabouts when I’m finished here.
Cool vid. Fall is coming and I still want to use my yak. Need to stay dry. Never thought about putting the kayak sideways along the shore like that. Good tip
Good common sense information aimed at novice paddlers. Entering and exiting a floating kayak can be very difficult so supporting parts of the hull in shallow water can help a great deal. Keeping feet dry is an added benefit.
04:25 i would never weight down on the paddle like that, that is light material,thin walled, and not made for that; i would put a gloved(or not) hand on the side or on the ground instead.
For a folks with wood paddles or who are a little heavier than the lady in this video, you need to have your kayak in deeper water so that it floats without hitting the bottom of the shore. If you sit on a paddle as demonstrated here, there is a very good chance you will break your paddle.
Explorer Mike If you use a paddle that breaks when you sit on it, then it's not fit for purpose and likely to break in use. I would put it drive face down though.
Thnx indeed. Wish had taken getting in and out more seriously. Would have saved the embarrassment of falling in the water and getting soaked to my drawers when our kayak group was about to set off for a long kayaking on Thames.
We go on small rivers. Sometimes there is current where we need to get out. I would like to have demonstration of how to exit when current is trying to grab the boat.
You will need to look to another RUclips videographer to help you with that challenge. Our videos are to help our guests using watercraft on our lake at our B&B.
1st plane i ever flew (1968) was a Supercruiser!! Such a great plane. I stopped at the airport I flew out of 2 years ago and saw a cruiser.. I looked at the numbers N78459 .. THE SAME PLANE!!!
I'm new to kayaking and my kayak has a skid (Challenger K1). Using your method, once in the kayak the skid would be pushed into the mud. Does this mean the only way to get into my kayak is push it further out and walk into the water to enter the kayak?
Hey...Made my day with that entering and leaving the boat using your paddle. MY only problem: I'm in a big lake with big waves. If I put the boat sideways to the incoming waves I get drenched! Well..back to the drawing board!
Nice video and a good way to get in and out of a kayak. One little tip... don't push or sit on the middle of the paddle (especially a carbon or fiberglass paddle).
I just read the past comments. I am sorry for the stupidity of people just trying to find something to criticize. You are giving a tutorial for your guests, if some can find some tips from it, great!! If not, move on!!!! You did a wonderful job explains your procedure. Where is Bear Lake Lodgings anyway?
I'll give this a try, for sure, but with me at 240 lbs, I think my paddle would be a bit too flimsy. My default technique has been to, first, never enter from a dock because you'll always go swimming guaranteed!. I always enter in water so shallow that when I step into the kayak, it bottoms out, like you're standing on the ground. Then get the other foot in and squat down and aim for the seat! Really not a good option with gravel or rock bottoms though.
No one has answered, and hopefully you have seen other videos on that by now... but if not... length of a kayak is not really the issue. Your body build and size/weight will help dictate the kayak size, but not really length. The larger the body size and weight, the larger the volume you will probably want (generality). There are generally three volume sizes, low/med/large. Chances are, unless you are very light, a medium or large volume kayak will work best. The rest (length) really depends on other factors, such as type of kayak and purpose, not your height.
Excellent video! Thank you. Please pay no attention to the ignorant comments on here. You have helped thousands of people enjoy kayaking. That's the bottom line.
I have seen a few videos that show how to get in and out of a kayak. This is the best one: very clear and visual. Thank you so much.
Wow I’ve been kayaking on and off for 40 years and never have seen this technique before. It’s genius. I’m trying it out ASAP!
how'd it go?
@@ChristelVinot it works great! I actually have sit on top kayaks but I taught my kids to use this method.
@@TheFishingMommy thanks
I have seen more video , but I think this technique seems to be easier and useful, I will try that when I will get my kayak , which I have ordered.
Thank you to share with us.
The kayak can wait. I'm getting in the plane.
Very well done. I'm an elementary school teacher and appreciate how clear the steps are. Thank you! Sounds like a place I would like to visit with our family.
Please do - book early so you can get the dates and the rooms you'd like in the B&B! Alaska is AWESOME!

3:21 "...and move your booty on into the boat." classic! the best onboarding/offboarding kayak description i've ever seen. thank you!
Greetings from Poland, thank you for an excellent presentation.
Great demonstration! It will be very useful advice for me, as I am overweight with joint problems, and was worried about how much trouble I will have getting in and out of a kayak, but am looking forward to getting one and peacefully floating around and enjoying being out in nature.
I had doubts about this video. Pure genius.
Got to try that! Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
This advice was excellent and will always copy. Thanks 😊
This is genius! Thank you for the best method I have seen in person or online.
We are getting ready to receive our first kayak. This is most excellent. Thank you very much.
Thanks! Just did my first kayaking last weekend, now trying to learn as much as possible - I'm hooked!
Look at that beautiful skywagon in the background.
Thanks for the advise.
I've been kayaking for years and nobody ever showed me this trick, and I certainly never thought of it.
Best video that has my attention and I've learned from!
You made that look so simple, but I believe my husband can do this because he is strong. Great video.
Been there, done that🤣😂 the struggle is real! Husband and I enjoyed the laugh this morning😊
Excellent step by step instructions!
Ridiculous!
Yesterday I fell in the river trying to get into a kayak my 2nd time .this is a really interesting video thx 👍

Enjoyed your comment - get out there and PADDLE! Bear Lake Lodgings B&B, Alaska
What an excellent and informative video! Thank You!
I'm a beginner, and this technique works well. I'm well into the 200's lbs, and there's no problem with the paddle. Carbon Fiber is very strong.
Nice vid, any tips are great, just bought a Kayak tonight, after having a great time in Canada using one. Hoping to get a few shots before winter ❄️.
I enjoyed this video thanks for posting this instructional video
Great information! Good job! 1st time kayaker here.. love it
Cool vid. Fall is coming and I still want to use my yak. Need to stay dry. Never thought about putting the kayak sideways along the shore like that. Good tip
Great advice I learned a few things I never knew, thank you.
perfect, thanks and greetings from austria
Thx from Finland👍 New tricks for me..
Damn. She makes it look easy!! lol! I always end up IN the water...even doing everything "right."
Beautiful background, and very informative. You should put together more videos!
It's good
Beautiful entry and exit!!’ Will definitely be using this ,technique. Thank you!
Thanks for the comments and enjoy your paddling! Our lake is out of commission till spring.... currently frozen and perfect for xc skate skiing!

wow~ nice tip putting paddle like that!! never thought of this
04:25 i would never weight down on the paddle like that, that is light material,thin walled, and not made for that; i would put a gloved(or not) hand on the side or on the ground instead.
Just started kayaking. Your awesome thank you

If you use a paddle that breaks when you sit on it, then it's not fit for purpose and likely to break in use. I would put it drive face down though.
Getting in and out of the boat was done well, but her land-based demonstration she had the paddle upside down.
Great video! Nice lady and cool plane!
From 3:12 to 3:24, that will give you the key body positioning/paddle positioning/body movements demonstration to enter the kayak.
Thnx indeed. Wish had taken getting in and out more seriously. Would have saved the embarrassment of falling in the water and getting soaked to my drawers when our kayak group was about to set off for a long kayaking on Thames.

Wow ! This is very useful thank you !!! 👍
Never seen this before... brilliant!
Great tip, great tutorial, thank you!
That's awesome, looks easy enough.
Super..I just got my first kayak! Thanks. As a aviatior..love that float plane. Friend has red white Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser On Lake Wedowee, Al
1st plane i ever flew (1968) was a Supercruiser!! Such a great plane. I stopped at the airport I flew out of 2 years ago and saw a cruiser.. I looked at the numbers N78459 .. THE SAME PLANE!!!
And BTW... your lesson on entering the Kayak was GREAT!
Thank you very much!
Good job demonstrating this.
Great video!
Nice video I will watch it again
I'm new to kayaking and my kayak has a skid (Challenger K1). Using your method, once in the kayak the skid would be pushed into the mud. Does this mean the only way to get into my kayak is push it further out and walk into the water to enter the kayak?
What if I don't have a dock with a brown locker past the plane?
Thanks! We just got kayaks, and was wondering how heck
we’re supposed to get in and out without getting wet or muddy. Know I know!!!
Best ever video!!! 🏆
thanks for this tip, I think it is gonna spare me many awkward situations hahaha
Thank you! Great info. I’m a beginner and this was very helpful.
Wanna go kayaking together?
Hey...Made my day with that entering and leaving the boat using your paddle. MY only problem: I'm in a big lake with big waves. If I put the boat sideways to the incoming waves I get drenched! Well..back to the drawing board!

Thanks for your comments!!!!
Diane Brzeski theres no sound that is what it is, you dont kyst say people are are stupid coz you are just revealing your true character.
@@mistyrivers4995 there is sound
What kayak is that?
Thanks, great tip.
This is a great video, so that is how you do it, thanks. Will try it the next time I am out. It always feel so unsteady.
It was a great tutorial thank you for showing it. And as for anyone who wants to criticize you for it. Well let's hope they get their feet wet
I second that.
Thank you for the help
I love your plane..since the covid crisis I have downloaded a flight simulator and in the virtual world i have that plane
what if it’s a sit on top
Great info! Thanks!
Thank you for this informative video. True the audio is low, but I had no trouble hearing.
Good tip thanks.
Thank you.
Does this method work for kayaks to?
Excellent thank you you so much.
Do you use the propeller to get in the plane?
This was great! Thank you!!

Works well if you have good upper body strength
Excellent!
Good video. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Nice tutorial.
I'm 6 ft.....How long of a Kayak should I get.......

I am 6' 2", 210 lbs (yikes!). I have a Pelican Bandit 100NXT sit-on-top 10 foot kayak that has four-position molded footrests. I fit in it very well.
Well,I'll be dam'd,impressive.And I just bought waterproof foot covers!
Awesome thank you
Wish I saw this yesterday
Not sure this will work for a 230 lb. kayaker.
I was about to say LOL!
It will work. I KNOW as I am one heavy kayaker too.
Most impressive thing here is landing that plane on that pier
shouldnt the life jackets be closest to shore not as far away as possible!?
Nice coach
Thank you!
Nice video, but it is not good for your paddle
