"My tips: Get Instruction"

Instructor "My tips are to pay me now"

Palease. There are plenty of books and vids here to teach theories and stuff for kayaking. I like to save money do you? All you need is to read and then have a friend of two with you and practice stuff in shallow water. Why do some of these vids make flat water Kayaking out to be a huge ordeal, it is just practice and learning by doing, paying someone to stand there and give you there opinions on things is not what its about.

So to sum up "How to get into a kayak from the water", your tips are:

Get instruction.

Thanks a fucking lot

This is venue exclusive.

SOT's don't lend themselves to colder water, where kayakers live.

Sometimes its best NOT to go into what's wrong with a video.

The term expert scares me, the presenter may be superb but the material was shy.

I have that T-shirt. I think it was from the Sacramento nationals? or Oakland. I can not remember

comme Makapuubodysurfing et le proverbe chinois je pense que "une image vaut mille mots"

I think this is a horrible video. I keep thinking these expert village vids will get better but I am let down more times thatn not. I think most people already know the best advice is to get instruction but we look at these vids to be shown some basics to see if its something we would be interested in. That being said some of their vids are ok but for the most part I will look elsewhere.

[makapuubodysurfing1]

it would have been better if you showed how its done instead of explaining how its done.

[computrav]

Good initial advice, but doesn't really show how to get into the kayak from the water as the video title would suggest...

[cougars0303]

very good advice.
