[Terrylizard]

Hi bud thanks for the vids- very very clear and definately a great help! Ive been trying to find a decent tutorial on how to get back into an open canoe after capsizing on flatwater could you point me in the right direction ?

Natural born teacher. Clear and concise. Thanks for the tip. I went over in a rapid and started trying to stand then remembered your words. Thanks.

Thanks for that advice mate - had my first ever swim earlier today going over some grade 3 rapids. Tried to stand up but couldnt, i feel lucky nothing worse happened now!

It's alright mate. Everyone has their own "scares" when out on the water. I got stuck in a current last month and ended up taking a 30 foot waterfall that I otherwise would not have kayaked down.

Just don't let it scare you away from the sport.
