A tip for getting in and out of the kayak… use your paddle as a stabilizer but putting it right up to the middle of the boat, vertically down into the water and to the bottom of the water (if it’s not too deep)… works like a charm
Waxing the paddle is a great tip! I can't wait to try it. Thank you!
I swear it's a game changer. Wicks right off the paddle every time! Happy paddling! And thanks for checking out the video!
Great vid! I learned I was using dry bags completely wrong and I should definitely go buy some rope :)
Another good video.... I have a milk crate with fishing rod holders attached for rods. I keep equipment in it as well.
I've gotta set something up like that, I'd take any tips. I've seen a few people use PVC they messed with to hold that stuff so I'm not sure the direction to take but the milk crate is a great addition.
Awesome video and thanks for making it! We just bought two new ones that will be arriving this week!
You're gonna love them! Thanks for checking out the video!
Be sure to join the Official Facebook Group for Tucktec! So many awesome tips and tricks in there.
Love the honesty 😂 I just ordered mine and seeing you put the gear bar in is exactly how I would figure it out
Dude! That thing is wild! I'm amazed it works as well as it does. Great video, homie!
Heyyy! Appreciate you checking it out, man. And the share, seriously means a ton!
It's seriously been AWESOME, it's changed up how I think about going out now since it's so portable. Thanks again man!
Havent seen anyone mention the parallel entry! Mine should be arriving soon and this vid deff gave me some ideas, thanks!
No problem! Have any questions, feel free to ask!
I agree it's possible but you need to be skilled and strong to pull it off
Well done. Thanks 4 all the good information
Great video those are some simple but powerful tips ! Thanks
I'm getting mine in the mail today can't wait to try her out
Happy paddling! You'll love it!
I'm still a bit hesitant on this folding kayak since I'm on the heavier side. Great tips! I usually have a thick folded black towel to soak up water and just wring out the water on long rides. How far do you paddle for? I suggest opening up your hand when it's in the up position while paddling, that allows you to stretch them and also promote a body rolling motion as you do a pushing motion at the top. This allows you to not get tired as quickly.
Awesome tips there on paddling. I usually try replicating rowing like I have done on those rowing machines at gyms, but haven't ever opened my hand.
Just today I went about 3 miles lake paddling in it, and did 5 miles lake paddling on it a few weeks ago. It really wasn't that bad, but the 5 miler had me tested! Haha
I use a towel now more than anything too so great minds must think alike on that one...on your end! Haha.
Seriously appreciate you taking the time to check out the video, and maybe join the Facebook group if you're weary but interested and see all the people raving about this kayak there. People of all sizes!
Thanks again!
Thanks for posting I guess could not hear a word
Turn it up Jim!
That thing is the Muscovy Duck of kayaks, yeah you know what I mean.
If I cared much about how I looked in one, I'd have to lose the Speedo first and foremost! Haha
What's the name of the song in the intro?
Can u anchor this?
Did the gear bar come with the kit ..or is it a separate order..? thanks
Isn't that the foot bar?
I'm sorta bummed when I got mine they decided to discontinue giving the gear bar in and I can be extreme with how I kayak. I could see how when I was in big surf I felt it flex if they would've gave me the bar it would've been better.
I'd honestly say if you shot them a message they'd send you one over. Also, it WAS just a piece of PVC with some foam around it. If you're crafty, you may be able to set up something better.
Did you get the stabilizers with yours? I know they're sending those out now too!
Is the gear bar supposed to come with every kayak or did you make one yourself?
It comes with the kayak!
@@skenchoutdoors Wierd. I just bought two of them and did not receive a gear bar for either of them.
@@stevejanke1574 if you shoot a message to shop@tucktec.com I can personally vouch that they will get with you 100% and super quick. Their customer service is absolutely out of this world.
Good luck, even though I know you don't need it! Haha. Happy paddling!
@@skenchoutdoors I just bought in august my tuckec and the rear bar wasnt there (I bought a refurbished kayak on sale)
@@leonardomartino3923 I can guarantee if you message the shop they'll send you yours!
Can't hear you
Turn 'er up Shane!
