How many of you have flipped your kayak?

[the dude]

there are two kinds of people in the world...those who have flipped and those that will flip. I have flipped.

I've been kayak fishing since 2006 and still flip during beach landings.... with my previous kayak ( quest ) the surf landings werent too bad ( more successful than unsuccessful 9 out of 10 maybe) now with my PA i've flipped every time ( 3 actually ) I find it difficult to manuver that big beast in the surf

I've been doing this for a few months now and it works great. I've only had my yak flip once and I wasn't even on it. I had two WSB on a stringer and they fell off the yak and.....well.......the rest is history.

No not yet i'll definitly try it my next time out... I think I just need to find the time to take it out more and practice

I've never flipped my kayak, but this morning, right after I read this post, I flipped when returning into the cove. I lost a $500 pair of oakley eye glasses, and my Coast Guard issued parka.

A reward is posted for both items!
