Don’t see a lot of people paddling with glasses…anyone out there got tips for keeping your vision clear with water splashing on the lenses?

Question why don’t you teach some of your newer kayakers to look for a t rescue?

@RiverKingsKayak

4 жыл бұрын

Good suggestion. I actually do. Getting them to look for it is another thing. It is something we practice often.

am i correct that your wearing a throw rope on your chest? first time i have seen that. would you typically use that in white water or is it more of a training situation thing? seems like a good idea I'm wondering why its not normally done. Is there a risk of accidental deployment?

@RiverKingsKayak

Hey Chris! In any real whitewater, I am always wearing an Astral rescue vest, I always keep a 70' throw rope on my chest. There is a perfect chest pocket in the center of the vest. The rope diameter is smaller but this bag is always available. There is no chance for accidental deployment. It is retained with a quick disconnect type clip with the open side of the throw bag stuffed down in the pocket. I carry another thicker throw rope in my kayak clipped in between my legs. Also, there is a big throw rope and pin kit behind the seat. Many kayakers and rafters will carry flip lines, throw bags, webbing loops, 'biners and all kinds of goodies in their pfd's. For me, it has come in handy many times! None of this will be possible without the correct pfd. A true Rescue Vest is an amazing and critical piece of gear.

Thag is when you manuever from one side of the river to the other by pointing at an angle upstream and paddling.

Active blade ? What does this mean here's my back story I just started kayaking I'm never done nothing like you're doing I just fish out of my kayak but would love to go do something like that but know nothing about so when we going to go kayaking LOL

When you leave the paddle in the water between strokes and affect your trajectory and boat attitude by manipulating the paddle without retaking strokes. Almost like a rudder of sorts...slip strokes, conversation strokes, sculling, etc...more advanced stuff...I have included explanations in various vids in the past, but need to do a a dedicated video on that.

I don't know if you read all my comments but like I said I'm new to kayaking and I know nothing about the Whitewater side ofso with that being said maybe you could do a video about all the technical terms and what they mean for people like me that just ain't that smart and know what you're talkin about just an idea thanks brother
