Kind of a slap dash video but full of important content. Love the four piece paddles, generally all I use.

We play with the age old “I’ll put my life jacket on if I need it,” adage. Isn’t that like closing the barn door after the horses gallop off?

Thanks!
Looks like fun!
Thanks! Looks like NC?
@@johnfunk7568 the events called WavePlays are always in NC.
Thanks. More great diagnostics.
Great video Randi! I needed all of that diagnostic description. Helps sort out the geometry and dynamics of dealing with capsizes.
Thanks. Yep. Arm “box” needs to be tighter. An old guy like me would hurt myself if I kept doing high braces with my power arm extended.
Great to see that! Leslie could help me that way!
This is awesome! The play by play breakdown is really helpful!
Yikes!
Nice to see the progress from sculling to layback roll!
Thanks! Will use these!
Randi, These analysis videos are VERY useful for me to watch. Feel free to use anything you have from me and I will bring several action cameras with tripods for us to use!
Great stuff! Happy crew and some really great conditions in the UK!
Thanks Randi!!! We will watch all the videos and forward to family
Very nice demo. Thanks for filming that gentleman. He’s a good teacher.
@@derekhanson9915 I’m lucky that he’s my life partner
That was excellent! Thanks for that technique. My partner would probably prefer that. By the way I dig that kayaking graphic in the beginning.
Hi, am wandering if this paddlesuit has latex wrist /neck gasket? I would be very thankful, if you can make detailed video :)
Hey there! No indeed, the gaskets are Chris Reed’s proprietary fabric. There is NO latex in it. It’s one of the selling point for those of us who have reactions.
Thank you very much for your answer. :) But is it still waterproof?
@@109cow I would call this a "paddler's suit." I had about a 1/4 cup of sea water sneak in during a rough 15 minute swim. Otherwise, dry. The gaskets are sized to the paddler's measurements, but are crazy tight. None the less I'd suggest not trimming them unless you are strangling.
Thank you so much! You are information angel!
😮
Fantastic video, Randi!
WOWWWW!!! So awesome!!! 🙌
Way too much work a heel hook is easier amd faster
This is an adaptive move. If you were teaching regularly, especially amongst people with challenges, you’d find a reason to use this. Additionally, American Canoe instructors are required to know how to do this and teach it. I’m an instructor trainer. My candidates often refer to this video before they take a workshop with me. That being said-- I’ve only used this method myself on a surf ski in rough water when I was alone and having shoulder trouble so I couldn’t cowboy. And there’s no heel hooking a ‘ski, or for that matter, a sit on top. Your point--that it takes time and effort is valid but misses all the reasons we might want to use and teach this.
Thmx. That helps. I also have short arms
You are a very good teacher....I wish I could find one like you!
Wow, thank you! I would love to teach rolling everywhere!
Do you know what the closest RAL colours would be to the hatch covers? Particularly the blue?
All you have to do is mount a rescue ladder in your kayak and mount a rope on the opposite side,run the rope under your kayak and pull tension on it as you climb the lader,I do it all the time,because I use my kayak for diving,no problem
@@gunslinger9560 lolz. ACA instructors are required to know how to use, and teach, a stirrup reentry. Plus this little gadget fits in a life jacket pocket.
See how the guy’s left leg is falling out of the boat at 0:52? Does he just need bigger thigh hooks? That happens to me, too.
Yes that boat definitely doesn’t fit him well. I believe the boat doesn’t have thigh braces at all actually.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I used to do that type of self rescue. But I’ve broken one paddle and when getting into the kayak and retrieving the paddle behind you, under the deck lines, you lose some of your balance. I tipped over again doing this in choppy waters. It was years since I had to do a self rescue (rolling now) but I teach it a lot. I do not teach putting the paddle under the deck lines but only tell my students about it. But still it’s many times the easiest self rescue. Nice video btw.
Thanks. Many people with smaller hands and/or adaptive paddlers need to use the deck lines. It’s an option, certainly not a mandatory one.
Can't wait to do this on Tuesday with my new boat!
Why do you place the boat upside down? Isn’t it better for the boat to be resting on its hull to put the load on the stronger hull rather than the deck?
Aerodynamics, the shape of the boat, and Nigel Dennis recommends transporting deck down.
@@capitalcitykayak thankyou cheers
In a lake, calm like that, you'll never capsize. And in a lake you can capsize in, you can never make an reentry this way. Completly theoretically and unrealistic.
It’s really tough to film in real conditions. Additionally, the well-enabled would not use this rescue at all. I never have, for example. However, students struggling with self rescue have and do use it , and appreciate it.
The reason you practise manoeuvres like this is so you at least have an idea what to do. After the fact is not a time to start wondering-- "what do I do now" Like all learning you have to start from a safe basic stance where you have a chance to actually learn before progressing to more complex situations..
Good example of why we practice. And, it is good to have a solid roll b4 going into surf/rough conditions.
Glad you both escaped this near-death situation. Where is the Coast Guard when you need them??? 😆
Lolz. Yeah, it was the quick sand that got us. We were afraid someone would call the rescue team on the island and then they’d get stuck in the sand too. We’d all just be standing knee deep in sand until the tide turned and we either floated out or became permanent features of the shoal.
Thanks for this video and the comments, Randi; very helpful! LOVE the puppy cameos at the end, lol! At around 9:45, you briefly mentioned "there are some things about [the low-volume Petrel] that make it less of an all-around boat" -- I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about what those things are. (If you'd rather I shoot you an email for that conversation, I can certainly do that.)
It's wonderful to be so earnest in diagnosing and critiquing your own rolls. Always have a plan B when your roll fails you is what I take away from the video. Thanks!
What skirt is that, that comes off with one hand?
Reed, Deck B, fits the Petrel very well, and as you can see, comes off without too much struggle. The most water tight deck on the market. I sell them, but I’m not exaggerating for the purpose of a quick sell.
@@capitalcitykayakDid you find out if the Petrel Play takes the same size?
@@suebrown8129, yes Reed Deck B, same same.
@@capitalcitykayak Thanks - ordered one off your website.
Great video! You brought up some really good points. I had the same tendency to push up the off water hand as well. It is super valuable to have these sessions to practice and pin point those little deviations in technique.
I have watched many, many Roll videos, but this is one of the most instructive, explained and shown exceptionally clearly! I have been kayaking for almost ten years and I have never practiced Roll, this is one of the videos that most encourages me to do it. Thank you !!
La conocí en un vídeo de Turning Point Boatworks y hoy encuentro su canal, que me ha gustado mucho.👏👏👏 Me suscribo ! Saludos desde Argentina. I met her in a Turning Point Boatworks video and today I found her channel, which I really liked.👏👏👏 I suscribe ! Greetings from Argentina.
Does Reed put their relief zipper down low enough, or did you have to special order it to be lower than it would be for a man? I've heard that Kokatat will put it extra low for FUD use, but I'd really like to get a Reed drysuit.
Reed naturally puts their's lower, on all suits. It's one of the reasons we prefer Reed in most cases. Frankly, my husband struggles to use the standard location on Kokatat suits, and he's a boy. ZIPPER TOO HIGH Kokatat!
Talk about playing in the surf. Glad all are safe. Good learning experience
Yes, thanks, it sure was.
So should he have pointed the bow into the surf, picked up the bow and drained the kayak, drop it, scoot it to himself and flop his butt inside? Paddle into tbe waves and get legs in and sprayskirt on wuth momentum? Thats what i would have tried. Any better tips? Great video! Subscribing!
Cat-butt approved! :D These look intriguing.
Lol😅
Those yellow hatch covers though!!💛I just ordered a set on the CCK website!!😄 Great unboxing! (ok, back to work now 🙄)
OMG, Randi, I had no idea I almost took you out with my paddle on that final attempt!! :D :D I will try not to cause such mayhem next week. ;) Thanks again to you and Rob for all your patience and help!
It's really interesting to see how my ugly roll compares to all the other prettier ones. I'm not sure I've ever looked that closely but my hand position is definitely different then the better looking rolls.
Always learning right?
Thanks, I am curious how that stiffer carbon compares as far as resiliency to impacts - would it have less “give” and therefore more brittle or higher risk of integrity loss?
This is a good question. So far we've only had the pair of basalt Innegra boats for demo. They are extremely tough. Our carbon Petrel Play is due out of the mold in the next couple of weeks. I'll get back to this idea after we've thoroughly put it thru the wringer.
WOW! This is so super awesome!!! Listening to the feedback shared in all of the examples is so helpful to understand - especially with the slowmotion and pen graphics!!! So excited to work on the T-Rex arms!
Thanks for the feedback. The slowmo definitely makes the arm extension very visible. More to work on…
Very nice examples
Please excuse my sniffling. I clearly need an antihistamine.
