Flipping in a yak with gear and bait.... Not fun.

I had my young nephews out from the east coast visiting
And we were in the bay playing around on the yak...
I have a new outback and thought I might be able to paddle
It like a SUP.... well.... I'm a big guy 250ish and was doing
Well when I thought ..... Well I'm in the bay...never had to
Flip over a hobie in the ocean..... So I decided to get us wet.
I tried to flip it over like they say by climbing on top and then
Rolling it.... Way way to hard.... I then tried grabing the
Handles from underneath and it flipped over super easy... But
This was a empty. No bait tank, polls, beer, lunch or a 40# fish...
None the less ... I feel much more confident now if I have to flip over
My yak......

Has any one tried flipping a PA.... like rolling a tank I bet...
