You can breath and even swim while capsized.

You are capsized. You have lost your paddle. Find it. Swim to it and complete your Eskimo roll.

  • lol if you were strong enough to swim while capsized why not just do a hand roll? check out my underwater footage of eskimo rolls

  • good point. well, the truth is, I haven't learned to do a hand roll yet. I will work on that this year.

  • Nice, very nice. I was paddling with whales three days ago. If i were to have been separated from my paddle it would be time to get the one off the front deck. We had 1 M seas about 0.5 m wind waves with confused seas coming from the cliff side. You don't want o loose a paddle and swimming a boat would be tricky. Your skills are great but we are in a different world.

  • Very useful technique!

  • The ocean can teach humility quickly.

    Well done: I was waiting to see you exit the boat and go for the paddle. Catching the boat in a wind can be fun.

  • well i dont suppose you need to.. your kayaking skills are immense! are you a profesional or is it just a hobby?
