I flipped my pa14in the kelp at LJ my first time out. Learned a couple lessons from it. I had the pump and i had the rope attached to the handle. Tossed it over the top, swam around, grabbed it, pulled and over she came. Got back in and pumped it out...emptying the fish bin in the front was the hardest part.
Now i have about 12 of those foam pool noodles tucked in my hull wherever i dont keep gear...thats actually a lot less water the boat will hold and a bunch of reserve bouyancy.
