Playboating in a sea kayak

[chris082681]

@AntipodeanAl Until someone has to paddle into a potentially dangerous situation to rescue his body. In kayaking when you put yourself in danger, you put everyone in danger.

[comeandgetit97]

thats shit

[19vendetta19]

Oh yeah I'm sure the ancient civilization wore pussy whipped helmets! ...spare me the bullshit you noobs

[LukeBass100]

@19vendetta19 lol any kayaker worth his spit wears his helmet, you must get laughed away every time you try to boat

[GreenDayHitman]

@19vendetta19 noobs yes knobs no

[IDontCare704]

Hi, I'm new to kayaking, but from watching some vids of sea-kayaking, I get the impression that it's kinda important to keep paddling even in waves and streams and keep an even pace. Is that correct?

[onlywhenpissed]

The boat looks beautiful.

[TheElvenPro]

he's to cool for a helmet

[TexasTarheelYaker]

Wow! I hope to be as skilled as you are one day.

[thigh92]

boring

[frod69]

Right...... well nice vid but thats not playboating in the slightest....

[goonerhugo]

the fact hes not wearing a helmet makes him more of a hero. i wear a helmet because im shit scared of rocks, this guy is clearly a madman for not being scared.

[invertmini17]

Surfing a wave is not playboating. You actually have to throw tricks.

[LillRussia]

respect

[screamindemon6x]

People ride bikes without helmets. People skate without helmets. Do you talk on the cell phone while driving? Do you speed or drink and drive? People do what they want to do. All you can do is tell your kids as good parents they should wear a helmet. Kinda like when your parents told you to wear a condom...Didn't work then though did it? It's called human nature and free will. Just be a good guiding parent and don't let them get on the internet. Life's full of risks learning and teaching.

i was considering getting a kit from the redfish kayak company, i was just curious is it possible to build these outdoors, i do not know if i can find the room inside to build a sea kayak

also has any one heard of this redfish kayak company and if so how is the quality of their kits and boats

[guillemot12]

@mattgeb84 Redfish has nice designs, but I am biased towards Guillemot Kayaks

[rubidiumstud]

this guys an idiot

[juhtuhb1]

Guess someone must have thought a helmet was necessary. Just sayin'.

[pandabear440]

try kayaking at howell island

[tonyboysax]

good job-

i wouldn't wear a helmet in that situation either

i v sail my valley knordkapp-fast

no helmet

but if you are new to the sport

and there is rocks--sure,,,,,,put a helmet on

[Activeseakayaking]

Very nice surfing, looks like a nice green wave, lots of speed, where is this exactly?

[Tootsall]

What, no helmet? Are you safer in a sea kayak than a play-boat?

[gifventje]

i'm pretty impressed by how fast you turn... normaly it takes a year to turn a sea kayak... but you go fast ! but if you "playboat" a lot... you might considder to buy a playboat (:

[GBPaddling]

very impressive you are the man! that water is moooovin!

[6969696969969696]

they're called sea kayaks cause they're meant to be paddled in the sea. and dude change the name to white water sea kayaking or something instead of playboating in a sea kayak

[kyaker123]

too rite^

[Aire8592]

that wasn't playboating at all...surfing yes, playboating no.

[amorrizzle648]

looks like so much fun!

[Surfer2931]

i didnt see any playboating

[rickyedder]

k i surf holes that are like 5 times as big as that wimp hole those holes arnt even fun

[eyeojo]

Looks like a lot of concern for your noggin!

[dogray666]

Es la Ostia,la Madre que lo p...

[VandenRipoffStrat]

White water kayaking is great fun but when the best places to playboat are out in the middle of no-where in open water (and they are) sea kayaks are the way to go.

[Olliepaddler]

I disagree.

Playboating is about loops cartwheels mcnasty's and space godzillas...

[WoodsWaterEcotours]

I think for sea-kayaking the real opportunities are the tidal races. But to each his own.

[valhemp]

Thats what I call fun. You really appear to be moving.

[20bigal06]

looks fun :P

i would like to try it out

[RobertNPruden]

Looks like fun, Nick. I should be able to play a little like that when I hit the forks, where the North and South Sask. Rivers meet. The Petrel handles well under those conditions. I am wondering how the Night Heron would do.

[yotatripp1014]

put a helmet on!!!

[guillemot12]

For those complaining about lack of a helmet: The water is deep, with the shallowest rock about 3 feet down. With some effort I may be able to reach my head down to it. I suppose there are other ways a helmet may be useful, but I don't wear a helmet crossing the street and it isn't much more necessary at this location. I wear a helmet in other situations, here its optional.

[ShortGrumpyKayaker]

Im sorry but a river is ever changing. How do you know rocks havnt been moved downstream by the flow and that there is actually a big rock right under you?

Your comparison between crossing the road and paddling is farcical. When crossing the road you can see the danger. Upsidedown underwater with no vision is a completely more dangerous situation.

Your statement about helmets being optional is incredibly irresponsible. For the safety of other paddlers I hope ypu dont lead any groups.

[Core404]

If you want to bitch about no helmets look up pro skateboarding and snowboarding, look what those retards do with out helmets

[kayakkrazzy]

@guillemot12 Anything can happen on moving water, what if you go swimming and get knocked out accidently by a another paddler attempting to rescue you. Put a helmet on!!!!

[cerysbieber6]

@guillemot12 could get hit by paddle / boat

[guillemot12]

@cerysbieber6 Yea, but much more likely to get hit by the truck at the put-in

[chris082681]

@guillemot12 At least you've got a life jacket so we could easily recover your dead body... also.. at no point would I consider that "playboating".

[GreenDayHitman]

@chris082681 so true haha Playboating i'm sure that had tricks? 

[onlywhenpissed]

@yotatripp1014 Are you the kayak police?

[yotatripp1014]

@onlywhenpissed Haha, no but I have seen some bad things happen to some good boating friends of mine while on the river. Just want all my fellow boaters to be safe out there.

[onlywhenpissed]

@yotatripp1014 are you the kayak police?

[Alexmcgruer3]

Looks like fun. Skid lid would be an idea.

If the WW guys don't like it tell em they can play in our ocean and we won't give then a hard time.

[56aipc]

so play boating? in what way? in that really mysterious way of paddeling against the current and surfing a little...i aggree with 2001 below..loops or evan a roll would of been nice

[dirtyhandbag]

well its fairly obvious ur not gonna be able to front or back loop a sea kayak, unless ur superman.

[56aipc]

yes thank yu for pointing that out....so how is it playboating then? some 1 plz tell me, surfing i would except

[rhammond1988]

Play boating is all about having fun, not what tricks you can do

[dtharme2001]

How do you get washed out in a boat that long??? Where was the front loop...?

[back2nrml]

is that shit natural

[Experiment1984]

I know what the white water guys were thinking because i was thinking the same thing. "Go on then throw an end you tit!"

[halsey426]

I think this is hilarious, the whitewhater guys dont know what to think.

[maxime291281]

Doing pretty well! It shows that sea kayak is not so relaxing! But then, were's you helmet??? F***in bad example for our young rookies...
