Wow! Great job keeping it together despite the all the crap hitting the fan. Glad everyone was ok. Vids like this are very helpful to me since I'm new to yak fishing.
Thanks for posting this vid, as it will teach so many people not to play with waves like this. the kayak is way to small for this kind of waves. Hitting waves always with paddling not stopping. Glad you guys made safe :)
I winced when you went over then lined the kayak up sideways to the next wave, so it would be thrown nicely right at your face. Ouch. You only do that once!
My advice for newbies would be - Don't ever stop paddling momentum is your friend and with out it your a sitting duck. - Always stay square to the wave on your way out this is just as important as momentum, as soon as your even the slightest angle to a decent wave it's going to tip you (a rudder can help with this) - If there's some decent swell with numerous sets coming in maybe look at going somewhere else, I've loaded all my gear onto the yak before dragged it down to the water only to think bugger this and pack it back into vehicle to go somewhere else. - Don't cheap out on the yak, If your serious about yak fishing buy a decent one, They have compartments and things for your rods and all your tackle, everything is nice and organized so you don't lose anything. I have had f ups just like most yak fisherman, You learn through experience 👍👍
When you do end up swimming, IMMEDIATELY get your body between the wave and Kayak, the kayak can then not slam into you and you can control it by holding (Tie a piece of parrachord onto the nose tip loop) the nose with one hand as a wave crash by. Don't ever paddle into the ocean with your rods up like that, tie shit down man!
Never ever stay between your kayak and the beach, always get on the ocean side. Always wear your life west. Secure those hooks and put some foam around your rods, so they will float. Attach everything to the kayak. You were doing pretty good, just need a new kayak and learn basic safety tricks. If you roll over, never try to flip the kayak back in the surf. First of all, your kayak should be on the shore side and you on the ocean side, then just tow kayak to the shore at 90 degree to the waves, flip it back in the calmer water, then hold either bow or stern and once your hit the sand, spin kayak around and drag it to the shore. now go and recover your gear. Remember, your well being in #1, then 2 nd the most important task it to get kayak to the beach, this prevents injuries of other people around, the last task is to recover your gear. Good luck.
I can hear the fear in your breathing. The ocean isn't a safe playground for us. It's a majestic beast. Learn to love and respect it. Glad you all got out okay.
Yep, that went very wrong indeed... it was very dangerous to stay in front of your boat with the waves coming in when you capsize! You could of broken your neck, I just learned to go under and let boat go and retrieve it further, watching this video.
I feel your pain. Nothing worse than getting tipped over in a kayak by a big wave then trying to salvage your stuff while the next waves bowl you over.
Thats a bummer mate, try leashing everything down that way you shouldn't lose too much, momentum forward is your friend always keep enough so you can punch through that white water, thanks for sharing and hope you have better luck next time!
Definitely power through, so you can get to the next one before it swells and crashes. Did you notice how easy it was at the top of a swell, as opposed to going through it as it crashed? Also, put a thin line on all your gear, so you don't lose anything. It's ok if it falls out of the boat, but at least you won't lose anything. Glad you made it out ok and no one was hurt. Thanks for taking the trouble to make a video!
@@LoletaEric Right, better to just strap them down along the kayak, or instead of using a "thin line" use a paddle leash. They aren't expensive. A thin line would be no good, too dangerous.
@@LoletaEric I personally don't use them for my fishing rods. I strap my rods down along the side. Just a better option than a line as some leashes are pretty short and elastic so there isn't much room to get tangled. Kayak fishing 13 years, sea kayaking 10 years and I've been a sea kayak instructor for 4 years.
Yeah bud, that was a bummer! I've never wiped out on entry, but got drilled a few times on exit. You definitely need to be able to paddle faster and never, never, NEVER, get in front of a loose kayak!!! That thing will take your head off!!!!
WOW, brings back memories of my first season off shore kayak fishing in south Florida. Unfortunately, you have to pay your do's, getting humbled trying to pass the breakers, also landing on the beach, and the old losing expensive gear not having them leashed up, also no cheapo Walmart brand kayaks, get yourself a Hobie Revo 13 or the Hobie Ouback. Hope you pass your initiation to BTB KAYAK FISHING, it's the only way to fish. On my fifth year Kayak fishing in south Florida.
That looked a nightmare...I know with the surf you just have to paddle full on straight through it until your clear...with my Kayak ultra 4.7 I have a rod shoot and I can keep everything tucked away nicely just incase it does turn...maybe worth looking at 1 of those kayaks...a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for.
wow that was epic failed. looks like you guys were just sitting there waiting for the swell to past. Granted it did look bad but you need to power through them. and never get behind a kayak when a wave is roaring in. I've seen people getting hit and suffer broken bones. hopefully all you guys were ok.
@@dalethebelldiver7740 Simple. Water is malleable, a kayak is not. Wave hits you while you're touching the kayak that 6" gap between you isn't going to damage you. Wave hits the kayak mass and accelerates it into your body parts that's 150lbs of kayak and gear + water pressure being held behind a rigid kayak smacking into you. Plenty of energy to break bones. Adding more weight to the kayak isn't going to help. As you don't have the buoyancy to play with as kayak capacity limits are low already. Just makes you more likely to sink it.
ok big offshore kayak noob here. if your gear (reels) get splashed by sea water is it a good idea to continue the fishing trip or will the salt fuck them up quick while off shore (I have the same spin fisher reel). now lets say I capsize like u did what is the best coarse of action to avoid the death of your reel
I was gonna say its a bit small. I own a 16 footer and still get pushed around and I'm in florida where the surf is no where near as big. I cant imagin being on your kayak in surf like that
Olá! Em um momento eu pensei que você iria passar por um grande aperto para subir no caiaque. Aqui no Brasil há muitas praias com ondas como essa e eu não ouso empalar-los. Seu caiaque não está pronto para esta aventura! Amarrar todos os seus equipamentos, nunca se punha suas varas de pesca na frente de você ainda mais com o gancho. Já se perguntou se estes hookfish agarra-lo, o aperto que iria passar? Desejo-lhe sorte nos próximos pesca !!!
Well I’m an old time canoeist I seriously would not try that condition in those tubs. At least in a sit in kayak with spray deck you can use the paddle to slap support
your gear has to be all secured down when going thru the surf. Also you are to paddle hard thru the surf when it comes in not let it ride you other wise for sure your going for a swim. BTW, that kayak was a kiddie kayak and I hope you were wearing your pfd. Never go out without in on an keep it on 100% of the time. Cheers
Where abouts did yous launch? Should've powered through those waves and lean back a little and don't ever stop and make sure your kayak is direct to the wave
En español no merecía fallar por el contrario muy valiente y admiro, recomendaciones pon en tu kayak all que este seguro de volcarse en y remar duro sin asco
you need to get at least a 12ft kayak longer paddle and a seat...save your blue kayak for a small lake...doesn't look like it tours well in open water...
Jgn ikot sgt tuan kalau ombak besar jgn diredah...laut ni bahaye kuat sgt manggilnye....ambe dh serik dah....ambe org kelaut...laut ni kuat panggil...tk puas sokmo....
Dude first off your going soo slow I thought u would of flipped along time agoo and your hitin waves at an angle .And y would u ever do that and not bungie your poles down flat .also that is a ridiculous place for those rod holders well I guess it takes a beating to learn sometimes .full speed next time and there are techniques to stay up if a wave takes u but it shouldn't if u hall ass
You don't leash your rods in the surf, it is a BAD idea. If you flip and a leash goes around your neck and next wave hits the kayak - your are dead. You need to either put something floatable around your pols or your put them in a long waterproof bag.
Love how when his mate flips he’s laughing 😂 than his flip is even more of an epic failure 🤣
instablaster
that looks like a child's kayak made for a lake. surprised you didn't get a hook to the face with your poles dangling in front of you.
Lmao yes thats not a sea going that 🤣😂
At least it’s not an intex explorer
Yea I was shocked he even attempted that!
Wow! Great job keeping it together despite the all the crap hitting the fan. Glad everyone was ok. Vids like this are very helpful to me since I'm new to yak fishing.
Great recovery Bro. you remained calm . you did way better than most that get in that situation. and saved the bait? You're the real MVP bro

I have had f ups just like most yak fisherman, You learn through experience 👍👍
Well that’s what you get when you spend $150 on a kids kayak
exactly
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😄 haha
When you do end up swimming, IMMEDIATELY get your body between the wave and Kayak, the kayak can then not slam into you and you can control it by holding (Tie a piece of parrachord onto the nose tip loop) the nose with one hand as a wave crash by.
Don't ever paddle into the ocean with your rods up like that, tie shit down man!
A perfect video of 'What Not To Do'

The other guys just swam back to shore they are allgood
You poor sod. You need a sea fairing kayak. Hope you got all you gear back
That look scary but exciting. Glad you and all the others were ok.
i hope you got most of your stuff back, i feel bad for ya! good job keeping alive m8
That rinky-dink kayak should NEVER have been out there! You were waaaaay beyond your skill set & getting swamped was claerly inevitable!
The kayak should be ok...you just can't stop paddling when the surf is like that until your clear...or better still...turn around 👍😂
Thanks for the video. I'm considering this as a very valuable lesson for everyone. Stay safe and tight lines everyone.
Good on you for posting this online for us newbies to learn not what to do!
Wilsoooonnnn!!!!
Are Crap...
Hi Jayden, just come across this while browsing. Funny how it glassed out after you fell out. Great recovery!
This is good to show that kayaking is not always about smooth sailing, but rough and tumble ones as well.👍
I can hear the fear in your breathing. The ocean isn't a safe playground for us. It's a majestic beast. Learn to love and respect it. Glad you all got out okay.

Through all of that you managed to keep your bait 🤣
Good job recovering your stuff man. Looked like some proper surf you all were trying to get through.
Thanks for posting this video. Very educational!
Nice vid, really shows the action out there 😳
3:26 fishing rod sticking out of water holy shit i cant stop laughing
Rod decided to go fishing by itself!
I feel your pain. Nothing worse than getting tipped over in a kayak by a big wave then trying to salvage your stuff while the next waves bowl you over.
A mans got to know his limitations. Good example of what not to do. Good recovery though.
terrible kayak
Viking profish reload is the best bro ....👌👌
Im sorry but i really couldnt stop laughing since this happened to us once. Three of us all ended up swimming near murewai
Thats a bummer mate, try leashing everything down that way you shouldn't lose too much, momentum forward is your friend always keep enough so you can punch through that white water, thanks for sharing and hope you have better luck next time!
that looks scary man i want a kayak so bad i know what not to do thanks!

"Put a thin line on all your gear" - this is how you will get wrapped up and possibly die.
@@LoletaEric Right, better to just strap them down along the kayak, or instead of using a "thin line" use a paddle leash. They aren't expensive. A thin line would be no good, too dangerous.
Paddle leashes are dangerous too. I have several of them and haven't used one in many years. I've been kayak fishing 21 years - how about you?

At least you were thoughtful enough to adjust the go pro to film your own near drowning for our entertainment

Should have taken some Barbie poles to go with that Barbie boat. Looks like he is just taking the same wave break over and over again
ouch that,s what happens when you buy a 10 foot kayak not deigned for fishing lol i have a new one i have not tried yet wish me luck lol
Edgunsuk So how did it go?
Good luck
Ya bro I've had my fair share of wipe outs but you gotta paddle way harder to get thru it better Good Luck !!
This looks about as much fun as a root canal.
Thk for the video. Planning to get one, still doing the rnd what issue i will run into. Thk again
Baaaa, hahahahaha... I've done the same thing !!
But really, a flat-bottomed kayak?
Son, there's an app for that...
That looked a nightmare...I know with the surf you just have to paddle full on straight through it until your clear...with my Kayak ultra 4.7 I have a rod shoot and I can keep everything tucked away nicely just incase it does turn...maybe worth looking at 1 of those kayaks...a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for.
Mother nature saying RESPECT my authority....lol

Joseph Saeteurn explain that please. How did someone break a bone in a kayak?
Would it help if I was to add a bottom keel and weights in it?

Where abouts in taranaki is this. Pretty grunty surf lol how did u get on coming back in
ok big offshore kayak noob here. if your gear (reels) get splashed by sea water is it a good idea to continue the fishing trip or will the salt fuck them up quick while off shore (I have the same spin fisher reel). now lets say I capsize like u did what is the best coarse of action to avoid the death of your reel
Yea the kayak isnt made for the surf or for fishing really so i learnt from that haha
I was gonna say its a bit small. I own a 16 footer and still get pushed around and I'm in florida where the surf is no where near as big. I cant imagin being on your kayak in surf like that
3:15 I was like "Holy Crap!"
He would have made it if he went to the left of the wave.
Y'all hella coo coo!
The waves looked calmer on the right side, you should have moved there.
Very important tips for offshore fishing on small kayak bro don't for get the nappy lol
Never stay behind your yak with an incoming wave, easy way to get knocked out
Ouch, sooner or later it happens to all of us.
So true.
Olá! Em um momento eu pensei que você iria passar por um grande aperto para subir no caiaque. Aqui no Brasil há muitas praias com ondas como essa e eu não ouso empalar-los.

3:15 is when he knew he fucked up
Crazy shit bro that's extremely fishing what's up whit the other guys good Luke for the future
Well I’m an old time canoeist I seriously would not try that condition in those tubs. At least in a sit in kayak with spray deck you can use the paddle to slap support
no way would I have rods in front of me, dont want one of those waves to release the line and send a hook flying at my face
Nothing tied on or down? Or rods attached to leashes? Gotta tie your stuff down man! Glad you weren't hurt or worse.
Problem here is that isn't a kayak...it's a bottle cap lol.
And definitely the wrong kayak for conditions
your gear has to be all secured down when going thru the surf. Also you are to paddle hard thru the surf when it comes in not let it ride you other wise for sure your going for a swim. BTW, that kayak was a kiddie kayak and I hope you were wearing your pfd. Never go out without in on an keep it on 100% of the time. Cheers
wow, such a kayak (which looks like some $100 kayak from Walmart or a dollar store:-) could battle this wind/wave condition on the water...🙂
The worst thing is not one of them could have made a successful rescue attempt if needed...
Thank God you all survived. Great video on how to get killed!!
OMG! That must have sucked!
Where abouts did yous launch? Should've powered through those waves and lean back a little and don't ever stop and make sure your kayak is direct to the wave
It is good to show other kayaking, and it is not the prize of the kayak, it's the condition and how you use the kayak.
thank you for sharing, interesting video
En español no merecía fallar por el contrario muy valiente y admiro, recomendaciones pon en tu kayak all que este seguro de volcarse en y remar duro sin asco
What type of kayak is it
Next time everything should be leashed. I learned that the same way
How did you not lose your rods?
Moral of the story: You get what you pay for
Like a bucket catching water
you need to get at least a 12ft kayak longer paddle and a seat...save your blue kayak for a small lake...doesn't look like it tours well in open water...
Seems like a good idea
Get the Jackson kraken it's made for this
Where was this?
Jgn ikot sgt tuan kalau ombak besar jgn diredah...laut ni bahaye kuat sgt manggilnye....ambe dh serik dah....ambe org kelaut...laut ni kuat panggil...tk puas sokmo....
Are you OK?
I think need long kayak...
is that a bar?
i definitely would have got on other side of kayak . could have been fatal
At what point do u think turn around and go home 😂😂
Teletubby kayak 🤣
U loose expensive gear?
That'll humble you.
i love ocean kayak fishing,but this is not worth the trouble, find a better more calm area to launch kayak.good try.
pleade do not ever kayak/kayak fish again. for your safety.
Dude first off your going soo slow I thought u would of flipped along time agoo and your hitin waves at an angle .And y would u ever do that and not bungie your poles down flat .also that is a ridiculous place for those rod holders well I guess it takes a beating to learn sometimes .full speed next time and there are techniques to stay up if a wave takes u but it shouldn't if u hall ass
Full speed, straight and tie those poles down in your kayak. Good lesson.
You don't leash your rods in the surf, it is a BAD idea. If you flip and a leash goes around your neck and next wave hits the kayak - your are dead. You need to either put something floatable around your pols or your put them in a long waterproof bag.
Rip to the rods
This was painful to watch. This guy made even the most common sense mistakes
Tom Hanks had a better first run
Wrong Kayak for the conditions!
I guess this is everything I should not do..
