Great presentation of some very valuable technical information in this video. You almost certainly have to experience the speed at which it happens to understand it. I would absolutely rather finish a run backwards than flip or swim. You do a wonderful job presenting, breaking down and explaining the information in this video. Thanks for sharing with us!

Good video, and yes. The ability to stay calm, not to panic when things goes sideways is key in so many situations out in nature. Find your instructions very good.

I've done this many times and it's very instinctive to lean away from a rock or log. It is not instinctive to lean into it. It's definitely a learned skill

Thanks RyGuy! I am sure there are books out there. I gained my knowledge through on river tutelage from some really cool folks and great paddlers. Then there is also years of trial and error!

Disco on the Water going over a tree across the river can be an issue as I found out, I did not completely clear my stern, which the current caught, sweeping the stern and broaching me, flipping me over, and under blink of an eye, took 2 fellow kayakers to push my boat under the tree using all their force, it was pinned to the tree.

I never heard of that term I call them strainers u get caught under water with tree and can end a life fast as the water pressure pins u under

A broach is the action of becoming wedged sideways on any obstacle. That can include a strainer such as a tree, or it can be on a rock, etc...

@@RiverKingsKayak sorry I didn't want mean to sound critical ,but I screwed up taking some friends out and taught them how to paddle a canoe without explaining hazards on a couple of 4 and 8 hrs trips they went and rented a canoe with out me and drowned in average 3 ft deep river from a downed tree that had shoured a 12 ft hole and had pinned the two i and the canoe under water flow is like 5mph and took a day and a half to get them freed up by making a cofferdam ? So I'm a little sensitive when it to saftey and and strainer effect

Love the rock. Hug the rock. Keep your hands on the paddle.

River Kings actually, I was probably way too critical. I find your video presentations to be really helpful. My last kayak trip was my first. 8 miles. Lost my paddle, hat, and cooler after capsizing twice. Had to paddle by hand the last 3 miles. I’ll be better prepared next time. I have a dry bag, a paddle leash, and floaties for my specs. I’m sure I’ll actually learn quite a bit from your videos. I thank you for doing this.
