“A Common Fear"”

What’s the first thing you think of when you imagine yourself out on the ocean in a thin, plastic kayak and sealed in with a taunt spray skirt? If you are like me you think about capsizing--you think about drowning.

In Kenny’s second video column, “A Common Fear,” he tackles head-on a deep-seated worry that often goes unmentioned, especially by beginners.

Kenny’s special guest is John Lull, a kayaking expert (and a local resident), who is the author of a standard text in the field, Seakayaking: Safety & Rescue.

The video is available in two formats: A small Flash version for older computers or slower connections, and a larger Quicktime version for newer computers and faster connections. | Quicktime | Flash |

That was fun! Next time do we get to learn the pop-up, or whatever the technical term is for right-siding without popping out of the spray skirt? :)

I want to see hidden coves too.

I either decide to wait for more of your clips, or get out on my own. :)

Thanks for the video!
