Thank you so much for this!!!

Good common sense information aimed at novice paddlers. Entering and exiting a floating kayak can be very difficult so supporting parts of the hull in shallow water can help a great deal. Keeping feet dry is an added benefit.

shouldnt the life jackets be closest to shore not as far away as possible!?

Hmmm...if you want a beginner to feel confident you could have pushed off and come back in...now I don’t want to do it.

I just read the past comments. I am sorry for the stupidity of people just trying to find something to criticize. You are giving a tutorial for your guests, if some can find some tips from it, great!! If not, move on!!!! You did a wonderful job explains your procedure. Where is Bear Lake Lodgings anyway?

Looks like far cry

Far Cry is a video game..... the plane and water looks like a part of the game. He meant no harm lol

FUNNY THING! For all the negative comments - this technique has worked hundreds of time for OUR LOCATION to have our B&B guests get in and out of our kayaks on OUR SHORELINE! This is not a universal technique for all locations ...... it's FOR OUR GUESTS and OUR SHORELINE!

Only issue I have is this is a plastic kayak drill if I did this with my fibreglass one I’d be cursing the pressure fractures this works fine with a fully floating kayak so why teach it partially beached on what sounded like rocks. That said the use of the drip catchers as a lock is a good detail

the audio is terrible

Patricia Perry - 6 years ago

Not sure why you feel the audio is terrible - I was outside filmed only by an iPhone.... nothing technical. The quality desired is only for our B&B guests to get an idea of how to use a kayak with very basic skill set to enjoy our beautiful lake in Alaska. Cinematography and audio quality was not a concern considered!

You sold your Cessna. Smart move bet it was a money pit. Float planes can be a nightmare

Patricia Perry - 6 years ago

We really enjoy our float plane and still have it parked at the dock in the summer season - when we aren't up in the air enjoying it.

For a folks with wood paddles or who are a little heavier than the lady in this video, you need to have your kayak in deeper water so that it floats without hitting the bottom of the shore. If you sit on a paddle as demonstrated here, there is a very good chance you will break your paddle.

For an alternative and much easier method of kayak entry/exit at a shore check out KayaLeg at www,kayaleg.com

You are demonstrating paddling with the paddle up-side-down !!!

Patricia Perry - 6 years ago

The technique is for getting in and out of the kayak - that's the main idea of the video. Our B&B guests have few kayak skills and this is very basic!
