Geez my bad...
It was my first time seeing it so I didn't get the "point" already. Though it was eye opening and just wanted to share some safety with others who might not have seen it. I'll fish through the search menu a bit more next time

The point of being safe and preparing for the worst can never be stressed enough. There is ZERO reason to be negative about a repost when it has a strong message such as this one.

There are plenty of folks who have not seen this and think that because they own a PA they dont have to worry about flipping. Posting of this video opens the eyes of many and helps to motivate education of safety and re-entry. I am sure that I speak for the entire BWE crew along with the vast majority of BWE members when I ask you to refrain from making posts such as the one you did. It serves no useful purpose to the community while the post you are complaining about does the exact opposite and just may save somebodies life.

Whoever said the PA can't flip is like saying the Titanic is unsinkable.
Realistically most kayaks would of flipped with does conditions.

Maybe I got I little too sensitive, but that video puts the PA in bad light.
But yeah Siebler, i do see your point.

Bad light how? If anything it puts us PA owners back in our place Lets us know we are not invincible.

I have owned more that one kayak in my life and been on many others
in nasty windblown weather.

Having said that, If I had a choice, I much rather be on a PA.
But that's just my opinion.
