I like this video a lot. I am wanting to buy a kayak and I like to see different things that can go wrong and things to look for. This is an excellent video. A lot of YouTubers would have edited out the second roll. Thanks for posting.

Doesn't the blackwater have a water tight hatch in the back?

props! i think everyone whos posting about proper outfitting needs to worry about their technique a little bit more than their boats... we all know what proper flotation is, its the wizard not the wand and this was a great demo of technique. thanks for the upload

@MrPlumblord The Americans call it a 'Spray Skirt'

isn't it a spray deck?
Its called FLOATATION. Its not the manufacturers fualt if you roll a kayak without properlly outfitting it!

Who said anything about "fault." I actually had a lot of fun. The point (if there is a point) is: (1) it is possible to roll a waterlogged kayak, (2) a kayak without flotation will sink. Those who paddle kayaks without flotation, pease take note.

Please get some flotation bags for the bow and stern of your boat!!!!!!!

It was a borrowed boat, and I wasn't expecting to be in a boat that day. That's why I didn't have a skirt for it -- or a pfd even. But you are right, the boat needs bow and stern flotation bags to be safe.
