Unfortunately, Capsizing is a natural part of kayaks even though Kayaks2Fish kayaks are very
stable fishing platforms it can be unavoidable due to rogue waves or aggressive chop or wake.
The best way to stay safe if your kayak flips over, though, is to prepare in advance for that
possibility and to make sure you have the right safety equipment. When you are doing any form
of kayaking, it is vital that you wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times.
It is also best to understand and practice the techniques of exiting and re-entering your kayak
in the water.
The first thing to do when your sit-on kayak flips over is to stay calm. Panicking makes you
unable to concentrate and can put you in danger.
Your sitting position on the kayak will most likely have you falling sideways into the water.
If you do find yourself fully inverted, try to move away from your kayak to avoid banging
your head on your kayak as you surface.
Try and remember to grab your paddle as it will be your only means of moving. You can get
into a tricky situation if it floats away.
Kicking your legs to provide thrust, push your torso onto the upturned kayak of the kayak
and use both hands to grab the edge of the kayak on the far side.
Keeping hold of the kayak, bring your knees up and lean backwards. Your body weight will pull
the kayak over to the point where the shape of its hull will take over and the kayak will right itself.
Try practicing in a shallow area first.
This time, allow your legs to float up to the surface behind you instead of bringing your knees
up and leaning back. Your levelled body will keep the kayak from flipping over.
You can pull yourself onto it until you are lying flat with your centre of gravity in the middle
of the ‘yak. Once you feel stable, roll your body around until your backside is in the seat and
then swing your legs up.
