...If a high wind come I'll probably deflate the boat. If a high current come I'll probably inflate the boat. If both come I'll probably start peeing.

If your paddle breaks then get blown out to sea someone by the name of "orange" might "witness" the aftermath only weeks later. He then post the video he found on the camera hoping for someone to come forth.

u no wat i am really scared becuz i am in 5th grade and we r going to dana point and spend the night there!

[orangewitness]

Dana Point isn't that scary. The real danger is on land where the car traffic is. People there aren't especially aggressive drivers. It's not like that. But it's traffic in general and probably has more inherent risk than being in a boat or kayak.

As long as you're there with experienced people, as I'm sure you will be, you'll be perfectly fine.

dude... sweet this looks like so much fun. I got a sea eagle explorer 420 inflatable kayak. I hope i can do something like this pretty soon at gulf shores, its about a 5 hour drive from where I live. well nice vid.

[orangewitness]

Nice. I hope that turns out good. Sorry it took a while to approve all the new comments on here. I was away from the computer for a couple days.

[orangewitness]

Excellent! The first couple times setting up the kayak and folding it back together will be tricky but don't get too frustrated. If you get it at Upsports, it may come with a free foot paddle air pump. It will last about 10 uses but eventually the material will rip from air pressure. Not the kayak, I mean the foot pump. There is a hand pump that works like bicycle pumps, which I'll be getting soon.

It took a while to paddle out there since it was my first time going that far. But eventually your coordinated movements will adapt. To go forward more effeciently try to keep the paddle verticle on each side. That will make it so you don't turn side to side on each stroke. And there's a way to use the upper body so the arms don't get too tired, and even the lower body to keep yourself stable.

Check out my video "kayaking, snorkeling and freediving in Norway"!

[FerretMaster101]

lol what if you did get caught in one that would suck

[FerretMaster101]

lol dont go near the boat!

[orangewitness]

lol nah i didn't go near any boat, especially fishing boats. They may be surrounded by large fishing nets and I wouldn't want to get caught up in those.
