  • @swidd2 i was asking that too. kayaking is not that dangerous... whats dangerous is people not knowing how to get back in or making dumb desisions. EVERYONE can kayak but you HAVE to know your limits. (sea kayaks are VERY unstable too lol i have been on hybrids in the water and recreatinals but sea kayaks... i have to freakin push myself up once i am in it to get my feet inside...)

  • Why does everyone say kayaking is so dangerous? There are methods to get back in the boat, and a sea kayak has double bulk heads for flotation. How is kayaking "very dangerous", or what can go wrong, for a paddler who is able to get back into a kayak that is able to float?

  • Nice ass!

  • shi is pulling him up watch

  • @missones Watch it in full screen mode

  • haha wie hat er das wohl gemacht ? *lol*

    is doch easy

  • I actually found it helpful, especially the setting up and sweep without actually rolling. I finally was able to consistently roll today. I am sure technically it was less than graceful but I DID IT! :-)

  • To TechnoEngineer: His technique is sloppy because this is his first time. This was obvious to me and I am a rookie. It made me feel much more confident watching a rookie like me attempt to eskimo roll. I found this movie very helpful.

  • i like the idea of the woman holding the blade to help him up....
