Video

Thanks for the tip! I just saw your channel and I will be watching them tonight!

I’ll have to keep practicing it.. I noticed I’m not bending to do a crunch. I need to practice more so that my body remembers to do it. Thanks for watching as always!

Thanks! I also laughed at myself for getting out of the water once it started to rain… it didn’t make sense haha

Yes I follow him and love his videos! I think I’ve seen them all haha

Thanks! When you do your first roll, you’ll have the AHA moment! Keep trying!

Thank you!

Thanks Jonas! Like you suggested, I think I’ll stick with these three rolls and learn to roll from the other side first before moving on to more :)

Thank you! I can’t imagine rolling without a paddle.. something I will aim for down the track!

@@Fishaholicboy to be honest it's not too hard it's just timing and momentum. As soon as you start to roll use your hips and thighs and push yourself to keep going. Now I don't know if it's possible in a sea kayak as I learned to do it in a smaller boat about 8 feet if memory serves. But I don't see why not contacting a sea kayak is not as wide. If you do try it can't wait to see the video 👍

@@THE-RIVER-RAT now I have to try it! 😂 next time on the water, I’ll gift it a go!

The kayak definitely helped! Having tried a few different kayaks to roll, this one is by far the easiest to roll

Appreciate it!

Thank you 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

I can see why the butterfly roll is your favourite!

Hehe thanks Bill! I think I’ll stick with these few rolls and learn to do it on the other side before moving on to others :)

Thank you! Many more rolls to learn :)

Thanks for watching.. yes, the prices have changed which is nice!

I was not used to the narrower surski.. was quite the challenge. I tried it again recently and it was definitely better.

Oh I didn’t realise the first Pakayak had a shorter cockpit. Definitely should try all kayaks before buying if possible!

I actually got the 230cm Kalleq and it’s a good length for long distance. But I realised I prefer the shorter paddles as it’s more agile and I can react quicker for braces, etc. it’s also personal preference. The 220cm is an all rounder and don’t think you can go wrong with it. Hope it helps!

In this video I’m using the insta360 x2 and it can go underwater up to 10m.. I didn’t use anything special with it and was able to capture videos underwater too. You can get an underwater case for precautions. For the suction cup, I just tie it to the deck lines. Fortunately I haven’t had the suction cup come off yet!

Haha yes! Found a great place to store kayaks so I decided to get a normal hardshell kayak! Lots of fun

Thanks for the tip! I’ll need to practice more!

Haha I think I need to consult you before I head out each time!

@@Fishaholicboy 🤣 no man, you need to check the radar for the build up. Or get windy , it will tell you pretty what time that would happen location specific 🤙🏼

That means no kayaking for you this weekend? 🥲 the weather got pretty serious at one point but I didn’t record it.. got really nervous too.

@@Fishaholicboy Yeah, when it gets really bad, either have the camera on and let it running, or no time to film at all, important to focus. Good call. No kayaking for me this weekend - but I'm actually resting, I paddled in three cities in one day earlier this week, and then went for another 21 km paddle the day before yesterday. My body appreciates the calm weekend, but at least I went for a hike today 🙂 Glad things went well in the end!

@@AirOnTheWater yeah you need to get some rest too! Gives you more energy for paddling later

@@Fishaholicboy Good way to look at it!

I plan to do some rolling sessions soon! Like you said, it should be better to do back deck rolls :)

Not so sure… I remember they mixed two liquids together so most likely epoxy? I’m clueless with these things 😅

It’s 5.4m with a width of 54cm. My longest kayak this far and I’m still adjusting with the stability 😅 I found a great place to store the kayak so I’m happy

Reed was amazing with their communication! They made a custom skirt for me for the Rebel and it fits perfectly. They are a really good business for sure.

Thank you! I’ll make some videos soon. I posted a video on my instagram with the rebel. My profile is fishaholicboy_kayaking if you want to take a peak

I paddled with it and I’m loving it! Will make videos soon. I already posted a reel on my instagram. Profile name fishaholicboy_kayaking

Definitely a long kayak :)

That’s for sure!

Haha you’re so right! How could I miss that!

Thanks!

Yes, I’ll make a video of the video soon!

A wooden paddle definitely feels different to carbon.. and you’re right, the Eastpole is beautiful! I have no excuses now for not improving my rolling 😆

I really liked the kayaking facility and they have a kayak rack for me to store so I decided to get a full kayak and store it there :) I will make a video of the kayak soon! I used it on the water yesterday and I loved it!

@@Fishaholicboy That's great news about the storage as I did wonder. Can't wait to see it on the water buddy 👍👍

@@THE-RIVER-RAT if you use instagram, you can see a few pictures and reels of my on the rebel kayak! My profile name is fishaholicboy_kayaking

@@Fishaholicboy Don't have Instagram never used it. But thanks for the info

No worries.. I’ll make a video with the rebel soon!

It was hard for me to get in haha my feet is a little cramped but other than that, it’s ok. I may remove the foot pedals.. I’ll see :)

Completely understand about storage. How are you enjoying the modular Stellar?

Have to wait for 2025. But from what ive heard its hard to tell the difference from a standard stellar in one piece construction.

I saw a few videos about the 3 piece.. it looks sweet.

I would love to visit their factory too. It must’ve been quite the experience! I used the Rebel T today and I loved it so much. I am sure I will keep it enjoying it. And yes, definitely using a Greenland paddle. I’ve put up some posts here on Instagram: instagram.com/fishaholicboy_kayaking

@@Fishaholicboy Yes, it was an amazing experience. I live 100 km from the Rebel factory, so it's very close for me ☺️. The people working there are wonderful. Greetings to Bartek from Rebel 👋. He spent a lot of time talking to me about the Greenland T. You will be very satisfied; it looks fantastic on the water 👌.

Storage was always an issue for me too but after finding this kayaking facility with storage, I decided to go ahead with it. I’ll be making videos of the Rebel Greenland T for sure!

Still can’t keep up with you guys! Need to train harder!

Haha! 4-5 layers? It was quite a process to unwrap 😅

@@Fishaholicboy - I also stick the wrapping paper to the present, just to make it extra fun to open. Great early-Christmas present to yourself though!

The receiver of your gifts must have a lot of fun unwrapping 😂😂

@@Fishaholicboy - If you mean “difficulty” when you say “fun”, then yes. I like a nice secure wrapping on things.

I took it out after the unboxing and I love it so much! Definitely a fun kayak. The build quality is also amazing

@@Fishaholicboy i thought that you bought a surfski, but when you said you also bought a wooden greenland paddle it had to be something else. Could have known with all your rolling practices. Looking forward to your next video.

Hi! The sides make it easier to access the Bilge pump and float. There are many other types of deck pods which might fit better for your needs.

It's very sleek!

Thank you! Was fun putting it together

Thanks! There’s so many areas I haven’t explored yet.. I need to do some this summer!
