Using brace to avoid capsize is even better than combat rolls!

@JennyZhang42 Yes, but I still want that mental confidence that I can nail rolls in current. Agree that bracing is better though.

@@michaelcarter3149 I think there are two parts for successful combats rolls. 1. working on solid rolls 2. mental confidence and commitment to roll. Set up a rule, like try 3 rolls before giving up. I sometimes first attempt failed and rolled up on the second attempt.

@JennyZhang42 ya I completely agree. I can do them, I just need to get comfortable underwater again. It's always when you rush that it will fail.

Why isn’t preserving natural resources a justified reason for restricting access to caves? And also, many caves with gates are open to the public, if you know where to look or who to contact. Many caves in Lincoln National Forest are open to the public as long as you have a permit; some of these include Sitting Bull Falls Cave, Cottonwood Cave, and Hell Below Cave. Similarly, nearby Carlsbad Caverns National Park has 8 backcountry caves open to permit visitation; most of these aren’t even gated. Keep in mind, many of these caves you speak of that have been closed to the public have been closed for specific reasons; installing gates takes time and money, so preemptively building a gate in the entrance to a cave doesn’t make much sense. Many of these caves have suffered from extensive vandalism, contain valuable archeological/paleontological resources, or harbor endangered species.

@@maxduncan9985 Is Parks Ranch Cave (the one in your video) still open to the public as it was when I was there, or have they gated it off?

@@kenthompson5723 It’s still open to the public without reservation; no gates have been installed.

Thank you!

Last time I managed to turn my tempest 165 kayak here (in May), although it was not easy. So I thought I could do it this time in Valley Avocet kayak. That’s why I kept trying to turn it until I capsized. Later back paddling out was easier than I thought (and only took 30 seconds)

I think the difference was the tide. Last time we entered was low tide (1ft maybe), this time is 3.5 ft tide.

Thanks very much for your input. It's helpful

Thanks!

Yes. This was my first boat. It was definitely too big for me.

Hi, Heidi! It takes time to edit these videos. I will add more video later. However, my camera ran out of battery in the middle, so maybe I only have 6 miles recording.

I have a lot of kayak video recordings in my computer that I don't have time to edit 😂😂😂

Thanks!

Check the weather before you go. 1. Local Tide Chart, Low Tide is better than High Tide. 2. Sunny day is better than Cloudy. 3. Wind and wave, you can search for the surf condition, the better condition for surfing, the worse for snorkeling. Small wind and wave is preferred!! 4. Warm water. I think between Jun and October is fine, as long as you wear wet suit.

Thanks for stopping by.

不是哎。我们学校大学物理实验一级和二级的创新实验部分，让同学们用两周的时间做IYPT里面的题目。我是这门课的助教，负责给同学们准备IYPT实验材料和提供一些指导。所以自己提前做一下。

Jenny Zhang 噢噢这样啊，那我有些问题能请教你吗？

如果我能够回答当然可以啦。不过我只对第八题纹影摄影实验比较熟悉。

Jenny Zhang 啊哈我能加下你的微信吗？我有个朋友正好在做条纹摄影的东西

(because if you are a participant then why would you upload it on yt)

No, I did this last year as my Physics Experiment 1 project. Because I didn't participant this competition, I just shared my experiment results.
