I was fishing a papio tournament, and another fisherman was in his kayak, and his son was in another kayak, I was heading back to shore when they yelled at me for help. The dad was sinking, and he wanted me to help his son. I towed them both to shore with my AI hobie. I didn't even know the guys

Something similar happened to me. I’m a rookie kayaker and left the drain hole open. Water got inside and before you even notice it, you couldn’t even balance the kayak, causing it to flip.

I white water kayak and we don't go with empty space in the hull. get a float bag that'll fill the space then you cant sink...and what's up with the scuba flag. Shouldn't be flying that without a scuba diver under water.

i use a Home made pvc scupper holes Cart and have for a long time. Would it be worth fiberglassing around the scupper holes inside the Kayak to strengthen them and would it actually make tham stronger? Seeing as you are going a fair way offshore do you think you should fill up your unused Kayak Hull spaces with blocks of flotation material.

Bromethius88 - 5 years ago

So basically a HOBIE is the reason he’s still alive and back to shore. Listen up girls and boys. Save your money and get a hobie. Quit the foreplay and go by one. It’s the real deal. Proven to be safe especially in the ocean. I bet that guy will upgrade and a get a PA14 after this incident so far from shore.

Ivan Konstantinov - 5 years ago

Trash this kayak, if you find any crack, just don't repair it, and stay away from drifter kayaks in the first place, they seem like a brittle material made of... It pays to pay few hundred more but buy a beast of a kayak in reliability, and quality material. Generally a really good kayak runs into one grand. A good idea is to have a bilge pump just one from Walmart, if it could handle salt water, or I guess any is better than none, and get a lightweight battery, like optima may be. A pump surely would have kept this man afloat easily, and the power of a good optima battery would be more than enough for just five miles to cover to get out. If you go into ocean alone on a kayak, having no bilge pump is insanity... Learn, and fix once lesson learned, you never know what piece of debris you could run into, in the ocean, and get your vessel damaged, and leaking...

Ivan Konstantinov - 5 years ago

That tells if you get a new kayak, to start looking for some kind of spray coating or some that rolls on with a brush, something rubberized, or else that could work, preferably lightweight, and that puts on thick coat, strong, and flexible. Get all the kayak done from inside, this situation is no kidding, could turn out the worst nigthmare, kayak lost, equipment lost, and a person themselves 5 miles away from the shore in the ocean... Sharks like some meat starting about 4pm... Glad you made it!!! Good job saving a buddy!

SC EM - 5 years ago

This is a prime example of why a properly equipped sit inside kayak is much more safe, and practical on open water. Once that water gets inside that SOT you have no options even with a pump. It’s also why practicing rescue, and reentry techniques are crucial before going that far from shore. Knowing your own limitations, and those of your boat are not only wise, but responsible. Hope for the best, but definitely plan, plan, plan for the worst through every scenario.

Aroldo Rodriguez - 5 years ago

Great video. I have a prowler ocean kayak and I cap sized on a big river swirl scary stuff . Those kayaks are pretty waterproof but if the hatch opens by accident ( which happened to me ) it's scary was so hard to navigate with the hull filled up. Great companionship there btw big hug from a fellow angler from Venezuela.

When I had my first kayak, other than a leak, I had to time the afternoon winds! Once while at Newport Beach, CA, the afternoon winds were so strong I couldn't paddle in a straight line.

Could it be that pulling the kayak with the cart in the scupper holes with it fully loaded caused some strain on the plastic?

My boat took on some water once at Long Beach, CA but the bilge pump kept up so was able to make it back to the launch ramp.

Pool noodles stuffed under your deck are a kayakers best friend. You can also find heavy duty vinyl air bladders that are designed for kayakers. They were originally developed for whitewater kayaking. If it can keep a yak filled with water afloat in class IV or V rapids you will be fine on flat water.

Shaun Sim - 5 years ago

Start saving H,D,P,E plastic from milk tops and containers cut up, Put in a tray and melt at 140 C for 15-20 min then you have plastic that can be put into your mold or cut up into strips so you can light one end and drip the plastic into the kayak hole, Job done! Don't buy the expensive welding strips when you can make your own for a emergency hull breach kit that weighs and cost nothing ;)

Nomad - 5 years ago

I changed to ctug-type wheels after seeing some of this happening with other people . To be honest these type of flatbed wheels can be a pain at first ,that's until I got rid of the strap that comes with it and put on a nice ratchet type strap . I put this so it lays forward of a couple of fittings on the deck and tighten it (don't go terminator on it ) ! and it hasn't slipped once and I don't worry about the scupper holes. Also you don't have to lift the boat any height to get it on the wheels ! I'm really glad you guys got back O.K. That was a Massive way back .Proves how strong that propulsion system is doesn't it ! I had to laugh as it brought back memories of an old saying that my ex-seaman dad said to me once ,when we were out sailing together ,he said that 'There is no better pump than a bucket and two frightened men ' : ) I hope you got back out and caught some fish soon after this .

scupper trolley? man everyone who uses a scupper trolley, throw that shit away. buy a trolley that the kayak sits on top of, rather than the ones that have bars that go into the scuppers.

C-tug trollies are good but expensive, but there are cheaper options. !!! THROW ALL YOUR SCUPPER TROLLEYS AWAY !!!

Its not worth risking your very expensive kayak, and your priceless life, for a cheap as fuck trolley. throw them away peeps. not worth your life.

WCS Paddlesports - 5 years ago

With a crack that big in the scupper, that boat will never be seaworthy again, especially if he wants to be able to use a cart with it (as a plastic welded crack would just re-open with all of that weight he's got in the back of his boat bouncing up and down on a cart). That's a pretty old Ocean Kayak and at this point probably is wearing thin in a few places. The best bet to make the boat functional again would be to seal off the scupper entirely, at which point you'd be cutting half of your boats ability to self bail off, and most likely yielding it unable to bail fast enough to make it through the surf. The scupper is the hardest part of a boat to weld, and also one of the most structurally important, so even with a lot of skill and a good weld job, the odds of it lasting are pretty slim. That time or money would be much more well spent looking for a used boat on craigslist that has a tight hull.
Glad to hear you're going to pick up a bilge pump, always a must have when you're headed beyond the breakers. Make sure your buddy gets one, too!

Comfort in Discomfort - 5 years ago

Adam Crane if your gear is looked after buddy they will last, kayaks with brand names dont mean shit, there all plastic at the end of the day. Some are thicker tho than others but still can crack or puncture , I have a hobbie ocean kayak but it still plastic ,don’t get fooled by brand names and don’t promote them just because unless you got hard evidence that proves they are so great and won’t sink.

Ringo Star - 5 years ago

Juan jotabe - 5 years ago

that's why you should never go alone in a Kayak.

A couple of things:
1) those kayaks seem so over filled with stuffs. when i use mine, i only carry 2 fishing rod and a small fishing box as fishing gear. the rest of the gear is the anchor equip, my lifejacket and survival/emergency gear like a bottle of water a whistle, a compass and other stuffs with my phone fully charged in a waterproof bag. I do not need side stabilizers that are horrible if the wheater ever changes to very bad.
2) When i bought my first kayak, it was damaged in the same spot this one was damaged. I went for the manufacturer and ask for a repair since that spot in particular it is a tricky one. Manufacturer gave me one kayak brand new (2nd selection) and kept mine since the repair was going to take a while. There, the plastic it is thinner than the rest of the kayak and there you have less space to work. So it is harder to make a repair in that spot

Bass Nazi - 5 years ago

I agree. I totally understand fishing from kayaks, the only problem is now you have people trying to use them as an actual full size fishing boat. Kayaks are great for getting to area regular motor boats can't but if you want to carry tons of gear you really need a boat.

So lucky, but the scupper holes can't be repaired it will always crack and leek again. I never paddle anywhere without my high flow pump. If I forget the pump I don't go out.

Alex Carey why not use an old fashioned bailer as an old salt once told me "no pump can move water faster than a horrified sailor and his bucket"

After hearing this I looked at the gph of most bilge pumps on the market and did some math with a friend as the example sailor and the old salt was correct it is not difficult for the sailor over double the output of a pump using a bucket

That location will be a challenge to fix, but I'm sure you can do it. Personal experience, don't use a heat gun. softens to large of an area. I've had the absolute best repairs using a wood burning tool and I'd use the plastic from a yellow 5 gallon bucket for that kayak. shave off small pieces of the yellow bucket plastic. create a V in the plastic kayak where the holes are, then simply fill it all back in with the new plastic. Good luck on it.

Why not a sailing kayak like a klepper I have never had a problem with my klepper and I got it at a garage sale

Bilge pump might have helped with while towing but with that much water who knows. Still never hurts to have with you. Glad your buddy made it out safe.

Ian MakThompson - 5 years ago

Grizzled Old Dude - 5 years ago

Absolutely! Should have got on the radio immediately and advised the CG of the situation. Was a great self rescue but it could have gone really bad.

isufan89 - 5 years ago

I was thinking the same thing. You can call them and tell them where you are and where youre heading, and to be prepared to respond if you call back

Husain Ahmad - 5 years ago

https://youtu.be/LeCLFjDEBtY this is the work I did on my kayak and you should always Carrie JB water weld with you in case it happens again

Fishing with Cristina - 5 years ago

you can use JB water weld put some fiberglass and epoxy with resident and it will be waterproof

TheGrubbShow by Gary - 5 years ago

Don't even need all that. Just some good old plastic welding should do the trick.

On your kayak kart. Put a piece of pool noodle on the two rods that go into the scupper holes. Reduces the pressure on the scupper holes

Jason Harrell - 5 years ago

This is the very reason why I decided to not use scupper hole carts. Its to much pressure on the sidewalls with a loaded yak. The sand and dirt in the scupper rides up and down against the metal post and it grinds a pin hole in it. Worst part about it is that the leak is so small to start , by the time you notice a problem , you are already way out in the water and its to late to recover most of the time.

Gage Simms - 5 years ago

Random Raider I think you’re lying. Kayaks don’t sink, they can flip. But they don’t sink. And on your channel it seems to be that you’re a twelve year old. What kind of parents let a twelve year old go on Lake Michigan and “get too far out” to let them flip a kayak? And if it sank how did you get on top of it and wait for another fisherman?

Hartlepool Kayak & Coastal Fishing - 5 years ago

a fishing kayak shoudlnt just sink from being flipped. we use sit on top kayaks, not sit inside. If you were on a sit on top, and didnt self rescue what has to be the easiest kayak to get back aboard then you need to get some practice done. doesnt sound like you even tried to self rescue at all, please stay off the water if that is the case untill you have done some research into kayak fishing.

redcon1gear - 5 years ago

Random Raider watch youtube on some techniques. But you definitely need to learn and wear a life jacket even if you can swim like me .

redcon1gear - 5 years ago

Random Raider you need to practice flipping one multiple times with no gear and then flipping it back over and getting back in . You have to practice . It shouldn't have sunk either .

Random Raider - 5 years ago

Womp Womp I went out way to far from the beach because the wind had picked up I looked behind me and saw I was to far out and tried to turn around but I dipped the paddle to deep and leaned to the same side and flipped I got on top and was saved by a passing fisherman boat

chetyoder - 5 years ago

Does he use a scupper hole cart? as a roto-tool designer I can say the scupper holes are possibly the weakest part of the hull and should not be used for even stake out poles, during the rotational process there is no reliable way to assure of material thickness in these areas, get a Ctug

Grumpy's Workshop - 5 years ago

Just bought a fishing kayak and was planning on making my own scupper hole cart. Thanks for posting on this video because I thought those points would be structurally stronger. Now I'll build or buy an under-hull cart instead.
