Rolling a child's kayak
Просмотров 4125 месяцев назад
I got a children's kayak from a friend (thanks Raphael) and did a big job to get it in a good, and beautiful, working order. I changed all deck fittings, put in two hatches, put in new foot pegs (Kayak Sport) and painted it red. Here I'm testing it for the first time as a rolling kayak for smaller persons. It will work great. Mostly it will be used by my grand children. I do not have the brand ...

Kayaking at Smögen, Sweden

Smögen is an old fishing village that now is mostly for holiday people in the summer. Lots of restaurants, boutiques, bars, and ice cream parlors. And boats everywhere where youngsters are playing loud music and driking too much. In november though it's very quiet, just a few people and almost no boats. Music from Epidemic Sound.

Tack för streaming! 👏 Kan jag få lägga ut en liten snutt i story på Instagram om jag krediterar dig? ☺️ 4:05:51
No pumps on any deck? No paddle floats rolled up? No short tow or long tow lines? This awesome video shows a mix of many great skills and a few missing things. Everyone was very cool calm and collected and well practiced in what they did, but she did not seem to have an instinctive roll. Maybe she does and another factor played in that I did not see. Thanks for posting.
@@beingaware8542 We are three persons, no pumps needed, same with paddle floats. I don’t have a use for those. We all got tow lines.
Great video, very informative. I have the habit now, for a couple years, of everyone lining up when spray skirts first get on, and everyone goes hands on to every kayak beside them to very quickly inspect every kayak lid on each kayak, starting from rudder, skegs for rocks, stern to bow, and finally to check that each compass is pointing to the same bearing. Once had a small cast iron frying pan under a hatch throwing one persons compass off 12 degrees. Checks help! Thanks for posting.
Good advice. I normally let people check each other, kayaks, pfd:s and dry suits.
Great trip!
Excellent review
Thank you
I spray my ReedChill cheater with 100 percent silicon, and it seems to readily absorb the silicone, keeping those micro-cracks from happening, and water beads up and slides off the material. Just my 2 cents. great video!
@@beingaware8542 thank you
I watched the tsunami video . its legit . I feel like giving you shit about it but only because i am jealous I wasn't there lol . . dont worry about the flak you got they just dont understand what a tsunami is and how awesome that would have been there at exactly the right time to experience such awesomeness from nature and kayaking Happy Yakin
@@BushKayakersCampingAustralia thanks
I would love to take it for a spin . I wouldn't know what hit me . we love our kayaks for the kind of kayaking we do , but that thing is top shelf until you take it 4x4 ing like we do our plastic kayaks . happy paddling
@@BushKayakersCampingAustralia thanks
never.
I spray my Reed stuff with `100 percent food grade silicon spray. The material becomes supple, stretchy, waterproof, and lasts longer. Great videos.
Excellent video 🎉
@@forestdweller512 thank you!
I have romany sportive, i love it. It is also possible to roll. I wish to try it in more wave conditions. Once I lost hatch cover while transport, but not on water.... Was it impossible to empty kayak on the water? Thank for real good videos!
@@109cow we did empty the cockpit but it was not possible with the rear hatch.
Is this insta360 MeMode in 4K ?
@@epos_rising yes, with the X4, 1080p on X3.
I had an Anas Acuta many years ago then a Nordkapp, currently an Avocet, as I have just retired I'm treating myself to an Anas Acuta, the only question is what colour? Thinking white hull and deck, but yours does look good too, decisions decisions.lol. All the best enjoy your videos.
@@petercairns8030 never mind the colour as long as it’s an AA. 😀
Should have turned when the third one came. Probably could have surfed it.😊
@@robertgurgo5662 yes, I could have done that. But I had to follow the instructions from the kayak leader.
Gopro makes waves look tiny. I assure you they look 3 times bigger in person.
@@jamesofallthings3684 it’s the wide angle lens. And I have been much better at editing so it looks better. Kayaking low brace ruclips.net/user/shortsPzjBIFK2hcM?feature=share
💯 so important... also that spot looks like soooo much fun.
@@KayakinFlight and this is on a freshwater lake (inland sea). Lake Vaenern
@@JonasAlexanderson that's freshwater??? = o wow
@@KayakinFlight yes!
Thanks, great review!
@@raju-bitter Thanks
Hi Alex you're the great kayaker , I hope that one day I can meet you 🤙💪
@@lorenzopaoloni thanks. Kayaking friends are always welcome.
Real rescues, real incident management and looks like everyone kept a cool head - those sudden surging waves can always catch us out regardless of how careful/confident we are paddling. Is it just the camera angle or was it quite shallow there in places? Anyway, you guys nailed it!
@@jonathanhamnett4044 thank you. Yes there are rocks around. I was out doing some rock hopping, and where we did he rescue Hanne even stood on a shallow rock for a few seconds. None of us were at any time nervous or scared, that’s what a lot of training gives you.
Your videos are excellent but they don't need any music, especially not heavy metal, that drowns your narration.
Thank you. I have already started to reduce the music and the volume. But some videos need music or they will be a bit boring. Just my own opinion.
@@JonasAlexanderson Your videos and voiceovers could never be boring to other sea kayakers!
@@studebaker4217 Thank you ❤️
Can I ask what you think of the Valley Etain. Is it a barge in your experience or not? Would you get bored with it? Many thanks.
Hi, well a somewhat hard question to answer as it got two different answers. The PE Etain is a barge! If you are going to use it for mostly day trips it will be very boring on the other hand it’s an ok expedition kayak. The fibre glass version is better as it got a bit of rocker and is lighter. But if you are looking for a somewhat bigger kayak that is nice to paddle in most conditions, the Nordkapp is a much better option. If you don’t have too much gear or don’t do multi day expeditions I can highly recommend the Anas Acuta.
I always like your videos. You have a high degree of details and a lot of perspective when comparing with other products.
Thank you for the nice words!
The Gram paddles look great though I haven’t tried it. Also, strange that Facebook deleted your video.. does it have music?
Yes, but I have license for the music and it was ok with RUclips.
It’s because of the keywords. Suppose you called it ‘getting a spanking in the rough’. 😊
Is it calling or calming glaviers that cause tsunamis?
Actually it's called "calving" glacier. Yes that caused the tsunami, it is replacing the water when calving and the waves it creates are completely different from waves created by wind.
Was a little nervous watching kayaks flip.. but just shows if people are prepared, it’s not a big issue. Loved your recovery with the roll!
Thank you. That is why I practice a lot, was out today and did about 30 rolls.
@@JonasAlexanderson wow.. I need to do that too. My Rebel Greenland T just arrived to Hong Kong port.. should be able to unbox and try it this weekend. I’ll be practicing my rolls with it!
@@Fishaholicboy you are getting a nice kayak. I was doing the practice in my Rebel Ilaga today (it was already on the top of my car and I was too lazy to take any other kayak).
Great to see this very well made video, with real life incidents and dealing with them. Very interested to hear how it was made. A new career?
Already part of my new career 😀. And thanks Victor 👍🏼
Not surprised she needed a rescue as i also have a Romany sport amd its a very tippy boat and kucky not to have lost a hatch cover as they aren't a great fit . Yes over all not a good boat but strangely gets good reviews 🤔
I have tried a Romany Classic, far too big in the cockpit for me. Never tried the Surf.
Looks like you had a great fun day and always good to see real world rescues!
It’s funny how two cold, windy and rainy days can be just wonderful in a kayak 😃
Very interesting and action-filled video with a little bit of drama there with the rescue! Cool speed gauges in the video. Is that from the Insta360 or some sort of software add-on for using the GPS data of the GoPro?
Thank you. The speed gauge is from the remote control used with Insta360 X3. First time I try it.
@@JonasAlexanderson Nice. Looks very cool actually.
I epoxied my paddle to my hands and the boat is glued to the bottom of my left foot. Best decision I’ve ever made
Nice video. Thx! I commented a few times on your video in the pass which I enjoy. I’m planning a trip from US to Finland in the summer ‘25. I was wondering if you had time to meet up and discuss Finland kayaking! I would be with my girlfriend and we plan to rent a camper van and tour all over your country. Thx Dave
If I'm home I love to meet you. But I live on the other side of Sweden and I'm not sure if I have the time to go to Åland (Finland) in the summer. I have plans to go to northern Norway and maybe Iceland as well 2025. But I'm always willing to talk online or you are welcome to our big house in Sweden (search for Mellerud). This summer it's off to Vancouver for kayaking.
@@JonasAlexanderson we were in the north fjords (less tourists) in Iceland last summer. The weather was excellent! Hope it’s good for you. I forgot you are in Sweden. We plan to go far north into Lapland - Ok, I’ll keep in touch. Thx! Good paddling.
Different colours for everything, bi coloured kayak with contrasting colours and straight lines seperating colours. Straight lines rarely occur in nature and any colour can be invisible in different conditions so don't coordinate, it isn't a fashion show.
The thing is, no matter what colour you use, always expect that you are not seen. I have been a ship navigator for 35 years and know how hard it is to spot a kayak, no matter the colours of the kayak or paddler’s clothes.
Nice valley
A Sea kayak for living in and camping from all 4 months of spring and summer, Fall.
personally I use a level V unless I'm kayak fishing. Brand doesn't really matter as long as it fits. I don't recommend the generic "orange" jackets but they will work if it's all you have. NRS zen and astral green have been my favorite so far.
Made in China?
Living up in Northern Norway and rolling all year around, I wear Brooks tuilik during winther/spring, and my Comfort Paddling tuilik during summer/autumn. I prefer the CP rather than my Reed. Unfortunately CP is difficult to find nowadays. I don’t know if they are out of business.
That pure, fresh glacier water now has just a little more pee in it.
I have been to Corsica several times by kayak. For me, it's the most beautiful and varied place I've ever been. I love this island. I will go back there many times :)
I really liked Corsica, many amazing places. But there are things I don't like. No camping on the beaches is my main complaint. Northern Norway, Alaska, Greenland and many places in Sweden are better because fewer people and not so many "don't's". Amazing nature in those places. But again, I loved paddling on Corsica.
Hello again after 2 years. I believe our paths didn't cross at that time. Can I ask you advice for where is best to purchase the Anas Acuta? What is the best kayak store. Many thanks,
All Valley kayaks are very, very expensive now (but still worth it). In Sweden we only have one dealer, Nautopp, that sells their kayaks. Check here and for dealers at the topp: www.valleyseakayaks.com/
Rolling in cold conditions hurts!
Thank you so much - just the video I was looking for: pros, cons - all there!!!!
It’s a very low volume boat that’s lively. I took a test paddle, jeez, I. The early 2000’s at Kayak Centre of RI.
It's one of my bigger kayaks. I have 8 now and the AA will always be my favorite.
Thanks for a nice video again. Will you do a similar video on paddles?
Thanks. A good suggestion.
Aside from visibility, for a composite boat if you are going for the lightest weight clear coat gel adds the least weight, yellow the most (in a pure colour) but some fancy colour schemes with multiple colours and sparkles add even more weight.
What computer you are using for video editing? 🙂
A PC I have built myself. Don't remember the specs, but I will build a new in the autumn.
