Wow....Makes me think twice about going out there. I have not popped my cherry yet. Need to work with the training wheels for a while.

Seems like a cakewalk compared to the Dana point challenge outside the harbor

Dude, just make sure you check the weather reports, surf reports, and use your brain. If you're standing on the shore and don't feel comfortable with the conditions, don't paddle out. Be Smart.

That really looked like it sucked! Hes lucky he was able to turn it back over...definitely a bad idea to go out that day and to have his seat cranked up all the way too...

Too many perfect days in So Cal to go out when it's like that for me. I'm glad the dude is OK but he looked really unprepared for re-entering his boat. I have jumped (and fell

) in the drink at least a dozen times from a PA14 and my current PA12 and never turned it over like that. Practice knowing your boat and how to exit and enter it before you have to do it live. I learned that from Jim Sammons many years ago.

That sux. I remember flipping my Revo out in La Jolla. I tried standing up in it to see what was chasing a school of bait fish. Standing and fishing in the Revo in SDB not so bad. standing in Revo to look at bait in La Jolla, complete and wet disaster! I had to swim down like 10' the fetch a run away rod as well. To make things better, it happened within secs of passing the yellow buoys! Luckily Uncle Paul had some dry clothes!

I'm glad he is ok and I'm glad he was wearing his PFD. That's a downfall of any peddle driven kayak is in that situation it is much better to be using a paddle. You can use brace strokes to keep yourself upright. And practicing self rescues no matter how big and unflippable your kayak is.

If anyone wants to learn some good paddle and self rescue techniques I am available. Contact OEX and they can set up a class and I'll come up to Sunset Beach or down to Mission Bay to teach it.
