How to get back into a flipped kayak - Hobie Outback
I flipped my kayak (Hobie Revolution 13) a few years ago when I was fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I was unable to flip it back over, or get back in it. So–I learned how. In this video I show how to flip your kayak back over and get back in it by yourself (demonstrated in a Hobie Outback). This demonstration is meant to show how someone of smaller stature and a lower center of gravity (I am 5'3") can flip a kayak back over. I lost some gear but nothing irreplaceable. Practice getting back in your kayak. I am a generally in-shape individual and consider myself physically capable. The shock of unexpectedly flipping in big water caught me off guard. I was too shaken up to figure it out in the moment. Fish with a friend when it is possible, especially in big water or less than ideal weather conditions. Always wear a PFD (life jacket).
