Meant to tell you how genius the leverage of the boat via the push on the stern is! Will be practicing that for sure. Yet another wonderful and helpful tutorial from a friend up north. Thanks and hope you are getting in some water time. Best wishes

Thanks for watching, this technique of using the airbags as leverage has saved my back alot fo the years, hope it helps you next time you have to do it. Thanks for watching!

Nice work homie! Very helpful!

Glad it is useful, thanks for watching!

It would be good to see a video teaching a swimmer to be proactive within the rescue, I.e keep hold of your paddle, and making their way to the boat once and trying to help get it to the side when safe.

Ok, if you can't swim for yourself, keep a handle on your stuff, and be smart in a bad situation...go back to riding in a RAFT!

One thing I noticed, but never thought of, is you guys double or triple teamed the boat push, and it took several drops and tries before you got it slowed down. we've always tried to separate the jobs, but a focused effort would be the way to go especially the faster and more significant the the water is.

Water Goat this particular clip we were like 14 people on the river so this is actually only half the crew gathering the boat. Hierarchy of importance as I mentioned is important when making decisions about what to do/who should do what

Interesting. I had always been told it's better to leave it upside down to keep it from filling with more water... but will try this now! Any tips on how to handle a second paddle? Where do you put it? If it is mellow water I just put it on my lap but when I have to make a ferry or something having a second paddle is awkward... thx!!!!!

What I do is either: 1) paddle using both paddles (can be very awkward) or 2) attach a cows tail to the second paddle (risk of it getting snagged, but if the cows tail is releasable its fine)

I think that method of thinking is sweet if you are on the flat and your kayak has air in it but if you are rescuing from a rapid it is probably already decently full. @bones's adventure replied with some good strategies, depending on where you are hucking it onto shore can be a good move toot kind of situational. sometimes the swimmer can use it to help them get to shore too as a swim aid which can be another good move. kind of always depends on where you are!

@eddieOlmedo not. It creates a situation where your paddle could get trapped/pinned thereby trapping you too.

@@eddieolmedo454 The cows tail seth mentioned has a quick release that if pulled; will detach from you. You never want a permanent line attached to you. In certain instances an attached line can plane you underwater. Not good.

Fuck that waka got punished glad I got a zet haha

Any tips on improving getting out of the kayak. Please don't tell anyone I asked

Like when you are upside down or on shore? Because if upside down I’m mostly about helping people avoid having to get out in the first place!!! 😂
