Why not???
I was cut off by some tourists landing at LJ yesterday and flipped my yak. I figured I let some of you laugh at me. Lucky for everyone, I had my new gopro rigged up. The best part is you can see the people who I was trying to avoid in my video.

It really wasn't there fault, their guide shoved them out and they were pushed sideways by the wave before the one I tried to ride in and they really didn't know how to paddle. Luckily I didn't lose anything. Tested out all of my waterproofing and rigging.

Bummer.. looks like you lost your hat. Hopefully nothing else, I hope?
I watched it a few times, and I still can't see what happened. Did you get turned sideways? I know at the end your yak is turned around facing out.. but that was after you righted your boat. Just trying to learn...  Glad you're ok. Thanks for sharing..

My hat stayed on by the chinstrap around my neck, luckily. I turned to my right to avoid them and and ended up parallel to the wave. Then furiously tried to correct back towards shore when i lost balance and rolled.

Dude, that sucks. At least no one was hurt. After a long day of fishing that landing can be stressful. Between the tour groups, solo renters, knuckle heads that think its a swimming area, and rental gear snorklers that think its a snorkeling area landing can feel like threading a needle. Having to time the waves as you time the inside can take a while to get a shot. I land a long ass unmanuverable and heavy hobie adventure there, good times. Mike
