Getting in and out of a kayak

2016-07-24に共有
Filmed at the shores' edge of Bear Lake in Seward Alaska. We operate a highly rated bed & breakfast (see TripAdvisor), Bear Lake Lodgings B&B, and use this video for instruction to our guests on a correct and easy means to enjoy kayaking during their stay. We encourage our guests to get out on our pristine Alpine like lake and paddle some or all of the 2 mile length. Many guests are first time kayakers and find this video a helpful resource for a new skill. Our shoreline offers a perfect location to utilize the technique shown in the video. As some reviewers have commented, this technique is not intended for extra large people or those experiencing knee issues. We have had guests from all over the world enjoy a paddle adventure on our lake. One lady was dress in her sahara, others in shorts to long pants - this works and keeps paddlers dry! Bear Lake offers a perfect Alaskan location to view wildlife - bear (brown and black), river otters, eagles, moose and more.

  • Wow I’ve been kayaking on and off for 40 years and never have seen this technique before. It’s genius. I’m trying it out ASAP!
  • Very well done. I'm an elementary school teacher and appreciate how clear the steps are. Thank you! Sounds like a place I would like to visit with our family.
  • 3:21 "...and move your booty on into the boat." classic! the best onboarding/offboarding kayak description i've ever seen. thank you!
  • I have seen a few videos that show how to get in and out of a kayak. This is the best one: very clear and visual. Thank you so much.
  • @just-dl
    That was marvelously done! Good clear explanation. When I kayak with my girls we do something like this. But with more hands on multiple paddles. Once one is in, she holds her sister’s kayak still. Then they take off and leave me to fend for myself….kids today!
  • for someone who has never done this method or even knew how to get in my kayak from shore in a calm and not akward way, this is a step by step and easy to understand tutorial. sometimes people who think they are experts at things don't remember what they didn't know when they started.
  • I have seen more video , but I think this technique seems to be easier and useful, I will try that when I will get my kayak , which I have ordered. Thank you to share with us.
  • You made that look so simple, but I believe my husband can do this because he is strong. Great video.
  • @kokosage
    Damn. She makes it look easy!! lol! I always end up IN the water...even doing everything "right."

    Greetings from Poland, thank you for an excellent presentation.
  • I'm a beginner, and this technique works well. I'm well into the 200's lbs, and there's no problem with the paddle. Carbon Fiber is very strong.
  • Been there, done that🤣😂 the struggle is real! Husband and I enjoyed the laugh this morning😊
  • Thanks! Just did my first kayaking last weekend, now trying to learn as much as possible - I'm hooked!
  • @g3attack
    What an excellent and informative video! Thank You!
  • Great demonstration! It will be very useful advice for me, as I am overweight with joint problems, and was worried about how much trouble I will have getting in and out of a kayak, but am looking forward to getting one and peacefully floating around and enjoying being out in nature.
  • Good common sense information aimed at novice paddlers. Entering and exiting a floating kayak can be very difficult so supporting parts of the hull in shallow water can help a great deal. Keeping feet dry is an added benefit.
  • For a folks with wood paddles or who are a little heavier than the lady in this video, you need to have your kayak in deeper water so that it floats without hitting the bottom of the shore. If you sit on a paddle as demonstrated here, there is a very good chance you will break your paddle.
