Surfing a Cobra ReVision - "old school" sit-on-top surf kayak. With a 13' length, it's perfect for catching and stretching out longer rides on small waves on a beach break. Using thigh straps, with the addition of a retention strap (almost a seat belt) that spans/holds the thigh straps together. It prevents the thighstraps from coming off inadvertently. See that you are a surfskier. Looking to trying one of those in the future! Paddle/surf on!
@@singmoy I paddle sit-on-top/sea kayak/surfski and even a very short waveski! I just don't have the beautiful waves you enjoy, unless I drive to the east coast and then it is really rough with breakers and sharks... I think your Cobra is the best for the waves you have. It reminded me the Viking Oxygen made here in New Zealand: th-cam.com/video/IcAuYySO-2k/w-d-xo.html It is rotomolded so very solid, and also with thigh straps which I believe are the best for the real surf use! Where do you paddle? Looks wonderful!
I am in the northeast of US. We normally don't get waves except after a passing winter storm, or an Atlantic hurricane. We had a lot of hurricanes this summer and are still in the thick of the "tropical storm" season. @@kayakintro
@@singmoy you still have some nice waves. In Auckland it gets very windy, but we get chops and rebounds. It is often some confused water unfortunately!
That yellow thing won’t win any beauty contest BUT it doesn’t seem to catch the inside rail as much as your wski or Stratos does. I know current advice is to edge and lean into the wave once you are being pushed broadside with the inside rail caught but it is hardly being in control apart from trying to avoid wiping out. Back in the 80’s we were recommended to try and release the inside rail as soon as you felt it getting trapped. I wonder why the advice was changed?
Great clip and beautiful waves! What are you paddling? Are you using some knee braces?
