Is there any reason not to keep your paddle float inflated inside your cockpit?
-
I prefer to keep the kayak up side down while inflate paddle float.

in shallow water not a proper demostration. plus with lady touching boat a bit, and water soo calm.

@aquaskye -- you are definitely an asshole.

russell is definitely a bottom...

@oiuyuiop if you put the paddle under deck rigging, when using it as an outrigger, it can be difficult to remove in anything but calm conditions and even then, depending on your setup, can still be tricky. If conditions are rough enough to tip you out then getting bakc in won't be easy by yourself.

I just took a course, in Canada at least, this is NOT how its done. I sincerely hope this does not offend anyone. You do not rely on putting both legs onto one floaty paddle. The entry angle in this video makes it way more complicated than it needs to be. The person should jump up from the other side of the paddle, ie, so they climb up towards the back of the kayak. Hope this helps. I guess the point is, get real inperson advice, otherwise this will seem more complicated than necessary!

Some problems with this scenario :
Calm waters and the person is standing in shallow waters.
Very unlikely circumstances in reality.

I decided to do some practice on this re entry mode today in the river here in Western Australia and I have to say that it turned out bloody harder than expected. One other kayaker on the bank of the river ran out to help me thinking I was in trouble and when I explained what I was doing he was really amazed that I actually tipped myself out and was practicing getting back in, anyway, after several attempts I was able to re enter my boat via the paddle float, it felt good to achieve something
