- In this video we take a look at why a kayak flips. I string a kayak between to trees and have P5 demonstrate why kayaks flip on the river and some ways to avoid getting wet.

I KNEW I was going to be in this video when I saw the title. I’m proud I have helped so many paddlers, lol. Great visualization River King.
I miss u man!!!! Let's get together soon!!
BRILLIANT!! So easy to understand and the kids did great!
Thank you kris!
Awesome demonstration, especially for how the brace works. I've seen tons of on water examples but none hanging from ropes? Pretty ingenious, dude!
Thanks Scotty!
The advantage of being relatively new to your channel - there's always a video yet to discover.
This one was very helpful for the future, thank you!
Thanks Bent Dover! Glad to have you along for the ride!! Sometimes I go back and watch some of the older ones...good memories!
This is essential knowledge for sea kayaking too. When a breaking wave hits you from the side, it does the same thing, and bracing and recovery is exactly the same as this. The wave will push you sideways, and the water buildup on the shore side will want to roll you towards the beach and window shade you. Edge and brace into the wave to prevent window shading.
Indeed Wayne!
"Present your butt to the current" is a very graphic explanation I learned.
For sure!!
I love how simple this demonstration is! But yet shows what the water is doing to you. Thanks for posting a brilliant video :)
Thank you Southdowns Adventures! That is what it is all about!!
BRILLIANT!! Now just to get my body to do so instinctively. 😱😂
Thanks AE!
Ingenious way to demonstrate, well done
Thanks EWJ!
Thank you! Invaluable information and instruction here!
Thanks Chris!
This video is absolute gold! Thank you for sharing! Really great examples with the dry land demonstration, clips of examples from on the water and you did a wonderful job at explaining everything you talked about. Your helpers will make for some strong paddlers one day!

Thanks Brody!!
Pete, this was a great tutorial! The kayak hammock demonstrates the technique beautifully.
Thanks Chesky!
Great idea, going to string me a kayak hammock for practice since I don’t have a pool
Right on Trey!! Be careful!
Hey thanks for the demo! Definitely made it a bit more clear.
Thanks Brenda!
Awesome visuals. I would never have figured that out on my own!
Thanks Brian!
Great video for someone like me who is looking to get into this!
Nice meeting you today!!
@@RiverKingsKayak you to. Hope to see you on the road and river soon
Cool way to show it, makes me want to string up a boat lol.
Thanks 4064life!
Love the way you explained that
Thanks BTB!
Chlid labour works every time :D Seriously - even most of us knew this, but the demo was anyway brilliant idea. I’m a calm water paddler on big waters aka. recreational weekend paddler, so my world is some way different than fast rivers or white water, but basics are always same-same - water is water is water. I really like your style to explain and your latest videos have been more and more informative (and still I like kayak/backpacking/trip videos too, because those tell more than most of viewers understand). And big hand for the most valuable point: you haven’t forgotten us beginners AND you don’t go too deep in the word of different gizmos. Sure, kayaks, paddles etc are really important but a tool is as good as user. Keep going good work!
Thanks a ton Jakke!!
Great explanation.
Thanks Michael!
Ya makes sense to me! Its amazing how much of a brace you get from your paddle on the water.
Thanks KM!
What a fantastic video!
Thanks RR!!
Great demo!! Great helpers too! Such a fantastic channel!
Thanks a ton LVD!
This may be my favorite River Kings video ever! Hanging the kayak and showing the realities on dry land is brilliant! This novice whitewater paddler thanks you!
Thanks Bert!! Glad it is helping! We had fun making this one!
Great video dude! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks Schaefer!
I flip because rolling is fun
right on Doug!
This is awesome thanks
Thank Megane!
Great demo
Thanks Gary!
I just realized something! I thought you looked familiar when I found your channel. I think you and I worked a Robin Sage class together a few years back. You taught us a whole lot about wild edibles which I thought was way cool.
Well, very very likely! Do you remember what lane? Probably were eating sourwood leaves, muscadines, etc... I normally worked 9113.
@@RiverKingsKayak 9113 and yes it was sourwood leaves! I believe you were the G-Base Sgt. Major, right? You and I shared kayaking stories and you were talking about YouTubing! You have arrived Sir!!
@@shaneoakley8757 that's awesome!
@@RiverKingsKayak small world here! I worked 9123 and showed up at the airfield and the lane manager told me I was filling in with you guys. Came down and ended up leaving about half way through with an Achilles’ tendon injury. That was probably 2013? Best guess.
Anyway your channel and your adventures are amazing. I watched your How to be a safe boater video last night and I loved it! Agree wholeheartedly with all philosophy! I tend to ruffle feathers also when it comes to people honoring their craft enough to prevent drowning and prevent your fellow boaters from drowning! I immersed myself in classes starting out to be a better boater, not to be an instructor… Get that roll!!
Seems like I always do the low brace instinctively. Especially since I have a Greenland paddle and I can extend and use the whole paddle for bracing (if I have time)
Right on Chery!
Great explanation! I was only doing it half right. I can't understand the "windowshade" analogy though.
Like when you used to have the spring loaded rolling windowshades...if you let go, they would retract very quickly....
Shap shap shap shap shap...lol
@@RiverKingsKayak Oooohh, now I get it. Thanks.
Do you ever do sit on Kayaks??? Would be helpful as not everyone is in a sit in... Thank you
Very rarely. Buf great suggestion!
It's just that a lot of people use sit on tops, And no one shows how to recover from when you get too far one way or the other...whats the proper way to attak rapids... Or the proper way to pack it when going on a camping trip....
@@schambers8301 all of that will be exactly the same for all boats
Hello, Pete! I’ve noticed you’ve paddled a braaap quite a bit. I have one and love it, but cannot pivot turn for nothing. Any advice? Thank you, sir.
Where is your seat position?
@@RiverKingsKayak as far back as I can get it.
@@gpalmer456 the braap and the antix are the least slicey...the rewind and ripper style boats will be much easier. That's part of the beauty of the less slicey boats, it is harder to play on the stern, but you get burnt less in bigger water...you may have to horse it a bit more, but it will go...
@@RiverKingsKayak thank you, sir
Are those Camo Crocs 🤔
You know it!!! Lol
I’ve never seen a kayak strung like a hammock for instruction. I wonder how well it would work on your own without the buoyancy? Probably wanna be wearing a helmet or have some padding under you.
Lol! You def wanna tuck deep in case that strap breaks!
👋😎👍
Very good, and fun, demonstration. It really helps me picture a good brace in my mind.
Thanks Paul!

Some people don't mind to swim. ..they have their reasons. Bad knees or may bad shoulders or both so. They swim to keep pressure on the knees
Thank you, perfect
Thanks PR!
ok… ok… i have questions i think this video may apply but not sure. I am a big person paddling a big fishing kayak and the seat is high, so high center of gravity. I come thru a bend in the river with some strong current, i make it through the bend but at the end, the swirling current catches me and dumps me right out of the boat. Would leaning (edging) downstream help this?
leaning and edging are the ONLY things that can help you! Give it a try!!!
so yeah.. I know this stuff. It's easy to know it. But despite knowing that I'm supposed to lean into it, not grab the side of the boat and all that... I still do the exact wrong thing every time. So even though I know the right thing to do, I just never do it. How do you actually do it, instead of just knowing that you're supposed to do it? lol
flatware practice. practice bracing, ear dips, sculling, rolling, on hand and off on all skills, hand rolling, etc...it will start to become second nature.
@@RiverKingsKayak right, practice. I don't seem to be able to get out there enough to make any progress lol. I need to figure out how to kayak more.
Adventure Steve is Scuba Steve! Great video.
Lol!!
very good demonstration!
Thanks tarn!
