- Kayak flipped on the way back from fishing. It happened in the Manasquan Inlet, NJ. If you have a big kayak take a look of how I flipped it back over and got back on it. Thanks for watching and I hope this video can help.

![How To Re-Enter A Kayak In Deep Water [Standard & Trick Method]](/img/n.gif)
You know what really got me PO'd watching this video? The fact that not one of those power boaters stood by to render assistance, as they are required to by law. At the very least, a responsible boater would have come in and done their best to block the wakes for you, especially when you attempted to re-board the kayak. They also could have idled 20-30 feet off your side as you were making your way back to the 'doggy beach' to ensure that you didn't get flipped by another wake. Another smart thing would have been for someone to make a "pan-pan" call to the Coast Guard and the marine police on channel 16, and then stood by until they arrived.
Agree 100% .. great post
Agreed!!!!
I thought the same thing
Thanks for sharing this video. A lot of traffic was occurring when you got flipped. I know it is hard to navigate each wake from each boat. I learned a lot from this video. Don't mind all the tips and bad comments...it's easy to say things in the comfort of a dry home. You have a pretty nice kayak which is "fully" rigged. I think some of the commenters are jealous. I'm not going to give any advice for I think it has already been said. Too bad you learned the hard way. Thanks again for posting this video; it takes balls to show this, I know.
Thanks for the positive words, I hesitated on posting it but I realized it would have been nice to watch something like that before I hit the water. So I decided to post it to help others
I've found it's easier for me to reach for the furthest h rail from underneath the Yak.
Once I have hold of it I simultaneously pull it towards me
while lifting (pushing up) the h rail closest to me.
It rolls upright much easier with a lot but less effort.
I'm glad you made it out safe...ty for sharing and showing other anglers how to be prepared and what to do in a situation like this
ufounddiesel74 no problem, I hope the video can help
Kayak fishermen are reckless with their own safety. I've lost count of the amount of safely/rescue courses I've done as a whitewater and sea kayaker. These guys clearly had no idea or even rescue equipment!
Congrats on making it back to shore. As one who nearly drowned after a canoe accident involving a rescue and hospital treatment for hypothermia, I fully appreciate the wisdom you gained and the advice you gave. Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Like the post. All kayakers eventually take a dip. No shame in that. I have been kayaking for 25 years and recently had my first flip. It will always catch you off guard. Seems like you didn’t let it defeat you. Just simply learned from the situation and keep going. Great job and great educational video! Handled it calmly and like a champ.
Thank you
Hence the importance of making your kayak completely sealed. EVERY hatch needs to be sealed!
You hear that Hobie?
How can such an expensive kayak not be totally sealed?
1. Always point the bow at a 45 degree angle to a big wave
2. Have a short righting line in your pfd or pocket that has a caregiver you can clip on to use to flip back over
3. Buy a small kayak bailer pump
Best of luck
Thanks for posting this!! I’m 65 and fish alone almost every day. You made me realize I need to wear my pfd always, no matter the excuse. I’m glad you were humble enough so I could learn a lesson!
Thanks for watching it!! I hope it helps.
I am glad I saw this video-learned a lot from this with all the things you did. I have added a few short ropes to the sides and everything has been tethered in since I watched this. Really glad you were OK. I had a really huge wave on a freshwater lake from a powerboat. The wave just kept getting bigger and bigger like it was picking up speed as it headed toward us. I was able to turn away just enough so that it hit me from behind without flipping me over. I would not have had about time to turn into the wave with the front. It was really close and I definitely would have rolled if I didn't have that extra second to turn.
Thanks for taking the time to post this and help the rest of us learn from your unfortunate accident.
Thank you
I hope this vid stays out here forever! I too was humbled after 8 years of kayaking with no incidents and the ocean demonstrated it's power and I was dump within a split second of me leaving the beach. The jarring part of the experience to me was the immediate mental shock! Mentally you think your prepared until it happens, I call it the "look mom" affect, which usually happens when you are at the top of your game. I want to thank you very much for posting this, I believe in light of the situation you guys did a great job keeping cool and finally recovering. Also because of this video I plan on practicing in a controlled environment before my next trip with my PA 14. I'm sure you won't mind me sharing with friends for educational purposes thanks again.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah I hope the video helps, that's the intention. Kayak fishing is growing fast and I've seem a few people struggle in the water. From falling out in freezing and not able to self rescue to falling off jet ski and have the wind put it out too fast. I think we over estimate our capabilities some times, we never think it will happen to us.
I just got a sit on top, feels like a barge at times, glad to know the rope on side trick to flip back if need it. I have had run in with motor boaters, some are jerks. glad your safe to kayak another day, and thanks for the tip.
I had a huge deck boat purposely kick up a massive wake for me on a small lake 3.5 near 4 ft swell. All in my foldable tucktec. Seems to have handled it better than your fishing barge.
Mahalo for sharing, you've no doubt educated many to what a flip really looks like and what needs to be done if not saved some lives.
Thank you, that's the intention. I hope that will motivate people to practice self rescue so they know what to do in case it happens.
Great job on keeping your head during the situation. Good to always go with a buddy.
Thanks
I've gone through the inlet before and it is sketchy. Glad you made it out ok. Thanks for sharing
Thanx for sharing this video. I'm glad you made it ok. First thing I'm going to do, is attach a rope on both sides of my Pro Angler 14. Next I'm going to order a pump.
If it wasn’t for the rope I wouldn’t be able to flip it back
Very smart of you leashed everything
Same happened to me, a little more inside of the inlet, finally got towed to the shore by a boat, couldn’t flip it back. You did it pretty good!
Thank you for posting . Your observations are very helpful.
Glad you are ok.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! Using your paddle to "slap" the water on the side you are tipping also helps stops it from overturning. But this happened so quickly as all accidents do. I'm ordering a knife to attach to the front of my life vest, and putting some rope on my kayak as well!
Thanks for sharing, glad you were able to upright the kayak 👍🙏❤️😊
Also glad your brother in law was there to help,you out. As you said we learn how to do things better next time, we just got one a few week ago, so we will take your advice on what we should do and carry for safety 🙏👍🐟🐠
Great demo..all the does n donts..what works..what doesnt..very good
THANK you for sharing...
Gives good tips and pointers for others (me) to keep in mind.
Good that the weather, currents, and boat traffic were not as bad as could have been.
Thanks for watching it. I was pretty lucky water was nice and warm, I wonder what it would've been with freezing water with dry suit and everything
Every kayaker should go out in controlled rough conditions and practice what happens when you get flipped upside down - how to right your kayak, how to get back into the kayak. How to make sure all your stuff is secure, and how to pack our kayak so that it isn't a big floating yard sale. Eventually everybody gets wet kayaking.
Agreed. You should practice flipping, getting comfortable in the water, and flipping it back before you do anything else. Then practice rescues over and over. Once you've got flips, solo recoveries and rescues down, then you're ready to have fun. Smart using a leash to flip it back. Nice job and thanks for sharing. Also, great job leashing almost everything. Rule #1 - you WILL flip your kayak. Make sure everything is ready for the flip - leash everything down.
Bought an Outback last year. The more of these videos that I watch, the more I'm inclined to install an automatic pump in my kayak. The battery is already there for the fish-finder and for the trolling motor. Yes, I had to watch this video 3 or 4 times before I notice the prop when you first flipped. Yes, aiming into the waves could have avoided this. Yes, this is taught in all boating safety classes that boaters with any type of motor are required to take. You really have to pick your day in Manasquan Inlet, NJ. Not impossible place to yak. But it's a bad place to be in trouble. Thanks for havin the guts to post this video.
No problem, I hope this video can help. Thanks for watching it
I love this style video every once in a while.
thanks =)
Thanks so much for sharing this video. It helped me a lot. 👍 Glad that you are okay.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing I'm glad you didn't get forced into the rocks
Leo Ramirez x
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you made it back safely!
Thank you
A side rope and pump has been mentioned a few times in the comments .. great advice.
Is there a CZcams video out there detailing all 'safety tips' for a newbie kayaker.
I would be interested as I am about to buy a kayak.
Regards from the UK
Thanks for sharing, so important for people to understand why all the safety precautions.
No problem, thanks for watching it
Thanks for this. I have the hobie pro angler. I need to practice flipping and getting back on. That rope tip is essential along with a bilge pump.
No problem I hope the video can help
Thank You For Sharing This Vid. I Learned a Lot Watching You Handle Your Situation. Glad You’re Okay👍
Thank you
You’re Very Welcomed.
Thank you for posting this.
Mate I am glad you made it back ok and also only lost few items. A close call. Glad you were close to shore when it happened too.
What an experience though. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
Happy fishing for next time.
It was a good learning experience, the water was warm and I was really close to shore. It made me wonder what it would be like if I was far and full of winter clothing. Thanks for watching it!
Thanks for your brutal honesty! I learned from this and will add a pump to my PA 12.
David Borodziuk I use a pump from an experience I had and it saved my other kayak from sinking
I fished there years ago. nobody cuts you any slack there. The shore fishermen will try to hit you with lead sinkers and the boats don't slow down. Appreciate the video and glad you didn't lose more and made it safe to shore. You stayed pretty calm through all of that.before I ever head out into the bays I'm going to practice re-entry into the kayak this just reinforces how important it is to be able to get back on and hopefully save your gear and butt. never thought that much water would get in there now I know.thanks again
Thanks for watching, I hope the video helps. There were two occasions where I had plugs lending on the kayak, it's amazing how some people act. I wonder if they would like us doing the same to them or someone they care about.
they only do it because they are on land. trust me i'm 6ft4 290lbs they would not want me coming to shore.great videos. thanks for sharing. Some day I'll be brave enough to fish the salt in my kayak.
graças a deus você está seguro! Obrigado pelo conselho! Only small lakes and rivers here but always big boats, i will always act acordingly to try to be safe.
From what I have seen I would never go offshore in a PA. I’d want something like a Kraken or a Tarpon 160. But I’m glad to see you got to shore.
good to see what might happen!! you are very humble
Thank you
thanks for sharing the experience.
Yeah dude good thing it wasn't one of the fishing boats... the inlet can be rough glad you made it back on safely and learned a great lesson ❤️ peace out yo
Fiquei impressionado como o cooler nao saiu do kayak !!! Parabéns aê pelo video e ajudando a galera !!! 🤙🏻
Vlw por assistir. Espero que meu aperto possa ajuda quem ta comecando.
Thank you I learnt from from you I learned don't use a kayak out in the open whether other boat my A boat and be Say And Warm and Dry
Thank you so much for your experience
No problem, Thanks for watching it
If you have a break-apart paddle will the shaft fit into the scupper hole to help turn it to you like a lever?
Damn I didn’t even think about that. I’m going fishing tomorrow, I’m going to check it out thanks
Wow scary situation! Glad that you were able to remain calm & get yourself back into the boat safely.
Surprised to see a Hobie flip over that easily, honestly.
Thanks for watching. I was not expecting it to flip like that either but it was a good wake up call.
At least you had everything tethered! Always prepare to be rolled, tether your stuff and wear your lifejacket. I rolled in the ocean, my lure got stuck on my foot and was wrapping the line around my legs making it hard to swim! I had everything tethered though so I only lost a pair of sunglasses.
Honestly if I had a boat and I see a kayaker or a boat in trouble is pure common sense to go and help is not rocket science, glad you made it out safely.
I've had a boat for a little time now and I keep my eye open in case someone needs help. Things happen really fast out there.
@@DestinationFishing yes very true.
You should check out the CZcams video of a Hobie Pro Angler 14 with an Expandacraft outrigger kit on it. If I were going offshore, I'd put an outrigger on both sides. Expandacraft has more than twice the volume as the Hobie outrigger.
scary man... you did well.. when I did my practice flip in my PA I couldn't believe how much water comes in through the front hatch.. glad you didn't lose too much gear and all was ok... good video
Thanks for watching. I was surprised with the amount of water too, I got the rubber for the front hatch that comes with the new pa and hopefully that will help. I notice even in some chop I get some water in the front hatch. Love the kayak but they should've done something about that.
i know it's an old vid, and i don't have a kayak but on my dinghies both have a thin rope down the side from the mast to the stern attached with bungee to take the slack out of it for that very reason to help you re right it after a capsize, happens so much half the time i know it's going and just jump over the side and don't even get wet lol just thought might be useful for someone as it would be a lifesaver in this situation if they were fitted
DestinationFishing Hey man, thanks for keeping it real and posting this video. Glad to see you handled yourself well. What was you thinking, kayaking thru Manasquan Inlet. The boat traffic is nuts over there.. I WOULD NEVER TRY THAT!, ESPECIALLY THEIR. You gotta stay safe bro, I always try to stay as far away from boaters as possible. Between them speeding and the wake it just makes it SUPER uncomfortable, besides very few boaters have consideration for kayakers. Nice video tho, maybe I'll see you on the water one day.
Hey Thanks for watching my video. I'm going to avoid this locations now, sometimes it's hard to avoid them tough. When we were about 1 mile out or so we had a boat that pass really close to us about full speed than made a sharp turn and headed whatever he was going =/
Great job. Plenty of guys free dive and spear fish in the inlet. As long at you got a PDF on you will almost always be alright. Ive had my hull fill up before. Seems scary, but used my hoodie to bail the water out. After that I now have a manual hand pump. Takes less than a minute to bail the hull. No big deal anymore.
Thanks!! After that I got a pump too. Hopefully I won’t need it but it’s always in the kayak with me
Great video man! Very important information!
LastCastTV thanks I hope it can help
Had you turned left into the boats wake you would have been fine. I’m glad you’re ok.
Glad you said you were practicing for the future. To prevent this in coming excursions, use you paddle to brace the kayak. Your paddle was stowed, and useless to maintain your stability.
"Self Rescue" Class is the Best thing I ever did on my husband's insistance. I suggest it to everbody, It's a wonderful thing to have under your belt.🤙🏼 One boat helps the other boat flip...easy when ya learn how.
Agree 100%
are there no plugs in these kayaks? aka scupper holes? could you not take the peddle system out to let 90% of the water go out naturally then put it back it?
They do have drains on top but the compartment on the front goes inside the kayak which is suppost to be sealed with a rubber but it doesn’t do such a good job if you have a lot of water on it
- go to a kayak club
- learn the support strokes (low support and high support)
- hold the paddle in your hands when you are not fishing
In this situation a simple support stroke would have prevented the capsize. USE YOUR PADDLE !
Campeon tenes k ir a laa piunta del kayak y darlo vuelta tomando la misma kiya d navegacion, y sobre todo siempre mantener la calma, abrazo y mejor suerte la proxima espero t sirva el consejo
Im glad you are okay!
Thank you
What a good time to have a solid, one-piece drive to pull on. Hobie issues ig.
Yeah they new one have more stuff on them so they prob brake easier
Glad your safe; learn from mistakes and move on. I subscribed 🤳🏻and hit that 🛎 Bell 👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing =)
very helpful, thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Glad your ok man
Thank you
well done m8, good recovery and you kept your head, Panic is so hard to control in a situation like that. just a quick question, it looked like you had self draining holes, how come you were so bow heavy, had water got in to the bulkhead (Hull).
Hey Thanks for watching it. So the pro angler is a sit on top and it has 1 hatch on the front that does a horrible job of keeping water out of the kayak, so there is a lot space for water inside the kayak as well
Nossa..
Estou pensando em comprar uma...esse vídeo foi muito educativo para ter uma segurança.
Vi que vcs são brasileiros, poderia me dizer qual modelo é o mais estável no mar da linha Hobie.. Compass, Outback ou outro?
Abraços
Eu troquei para o Outback pq e mais facil de carregar e tb e bem estavel. O Proangler e suposto ser o mais estavel mas eu acho que por a cadeira ser mais alta afeta um pouco a estabilidade. Eu to muito satisfeito com a troca pro Outback, pra pedala e mais facil de mover pra la e pra ca do que o proangler
My two cents worth I own a 2013 PA and go out a few miles the wakes the wind and other conditions can propel a tip over, that said the minute you hear and see a boat passing by the next thing is to expect the waves you must point your bow perpendicular to the waves created by the boats there might be 3 or more you must face but you will not tip over not on that boat. I have taken 8 and 10 feet high waves you must get in front of them then continue on your direction. Tight lines!
hobie's front hatch seems to have a problem when flipped. my hobie adventure 2013 let water in thru front hatch when I practiced flipping and self rescue. I'm so surprised that much water into hull in 90sec. in case of ocean kayak prowler . sealed front hatch doesn't let water into her hull during same flipping and rescue practice. hobie cat company must consider tight click seal in front hatch.
Yeah right now I have a 19 outback because it’s a little easier for me but I notice first few trips at least a good 3 bottles of water. Than they came out with a seal for it and now I barely get any even with a lot of waves. That’s was something that worries me quite a bit since the front hatch on the pro angler was so big
I was thinking of going to the spot but after watching your video I think l’ll stay away from any inlet , thanks for sharing the video.
No prob thanks for watching
G'day mate from Australia. In my kit I have a small length of rope ( according to your body size ) with a carrabina to attatch to side handle of yak , at the other end make a trapeze w with a piece of P.V.C. for a foot hold . On the water this this attached to yak handle & kept tidy with a rubber band . When you flip
Hey thanks for the tips, I'll take a look at what I have now and see if I can implement those ideas
Been there, done that. Turning, cross wave, and a wind gust, Blub Blub, Blub. Thought I ripped out my belly button getting back in it.
Great video. I'm getting a kayak tomorrow. Do you think it would be better to not leash the rods to not be at risk of getting tangled in all the leashes? I was thinking about just putting flotation on my rods instead.
That’s a good option but I think depending on how rough the water is recovering everything and worrying about the water in the yak might be difficult. I lost a couple things that were floating around and I just worried about getting back on land, to tell you the truth I was so worried about sinking the kayak I forgot about the rods, my brother in law that was there with me saw them hanging and told me. I always have a knife on my life vest. I had to use it to cut the line of that surf caster but it would’ve cut the leash with no problems. With all that is a personal choise lol
You did a great job documenting the incident, very impact for me to watch. So maybe both would be okay, foam on the rods so they don't sink and leashes that I can cut if need be. Thanks for the quick response, greatly appreciated. Do you have any other videos a beginning kayaking fisherman could learn from?
I have a pro angler walk around showing how I have it rigged and I plan on doing one with the outback. Also last year I did a practice day jumping off and back on, I plan on doing that again this year and I’ll make sure to record it. If you have any questions and recommendations plz don’t hesitate, I’m open to videos ideas and I’m learning as well
@@DestinationFishing Awesome dude! Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look through your library now.
Glad to see you made back in. My father in law says that inlet is dangerous. Don't the Hobies have scupper holes?
Yeah but water got inside the yak, I got a bilge pump now
Water must have gotten into the hull thru the front hatch. That's a bad design on Hobie's part and very dangerous!!! What if you had been alone and no boats to help you in site? Water in the boat should go out through the scupper holes.
Water goes into the hull through the rod holder tubes. On the new models they do have the ends of the rod holder tubes capped to prevent this from happening.
When the kayak flipped over the power boats when on by no help.?
Nope lol
I gave up on kayaks and bought a 14 foot vhull was tired of all the limitations not being able to stand ect.
I’m too addicted still so I’m fighting the limitations right now lol
Thanks for posting
No problem!
Thank you for sharing this any of us can get into trouble. You could have turned the prow of the kayak to face the oncoming bow wave and hit it at a right angle and turned back to your course when it had passed. I have done this in a busy channel and it works. The boat driver was an asshole who should have slowed down when he saw he was passing kayaks. I leave a loop of rope permanently on the back of my kayak for swimmers to grab. It is very useful for snorkeling too. I had sit inside sea kayaks for a while and I found a large plastic jug was better than a pump for bailing water. It was good to have both jug and pump as they complemented one another but the jug was faster. It is VERY scary to be in rough water in an unstable kayak. I always throw an old life jacket or even dry bags full of air in the hatch to give some buoyancy. I am not preaching, I have been in similar trouble a few times and know what it is like
Thanks for posting...many can learn from this! Boaters need to look out for each other because nature can catch you off guard, especially in the ocean.
Thank you!!
how did so much water get in the kayak? I thought expensive kayaks are sealed?
Not sealed, they have rubber seals in the front that helps with waves and rain and stuff but it was under water for a while.
Just curious would it had helped ..facing the wakes....evrytime a boat pass instead of staying parallel with the boat..
It definitely would. I timed it pretty bad too I had so many boats go by when I made the call to go back in.
Hobie pa 14 are very stable facing huge waved or swell but once parallel or large waves behind the kayak it will tip you over. I have flipped many times. Now i have hobie sidekick which solved this problem.
Definitely
I wonder if stabilizers/outriggers would have prevented this flip.
I think it probably would prevent it
just like a boat, you cross the wakes at 45 degrees
You had to point your bow to the wakes or tip.
Man you really have to time your entry in/out of the Manasquan inlet, boat traffic is horrendous on weekends and can even be bad on a lot of weekdays. I’ve seen some insane wakes go right over the inlet walls. Why not surf launch in Manasquan or Point Pleasant instead?
Good idea I need some locations for surf launching
After watching this video I’m rethinking if I should by a kayak. This happened to you close to the beach and during summer, I was just thinking if was fall and not as close to the beach.
It would deff be a lot worse it the water was cold
Ty for the video
I will learned from this when i flip
Valeu pela postagem... tou comprando meu primeiro kayak, bom aprender com experiencias! eu evitaria levar tando equipamento no mar... less is more.
Vlw agora estou levando bem menos , so o que preciso mesmo
There should be hand holds molded into the bottom on both side of the kayak
I thought the same thing
Thanks for sharing
You should always hit the waves head on don’t let them smack the side that’s what flips you
im sure he is well aware of that. but in this situation it would be next to impossible to go back into shore while also turning into the waves.. it's just not going to happen
No disrespect but this is a silly comment. Of course it's best but not always possible to avoid doing so.
Yea no shit KFC
No scupper holes?
There are some but some water still gets inside these kayaks
Great video bro!
Thank tou
Amazing how much water got in that front hatch. It wasn't flipped that long.
Nature Boy Adam I think that happened because I climbed on it from the front pushing it even more into the water
Did the same thing but worse my frount hatch was open had to swim alone dragging back to the beach with my anchor behind me hooks in the water total mess
Damnnn I got that rubber for the front hatch that comes with the new pro angler, hopefully it will help keep some water out
Caracas q vídeo loco meu ! Eu tenho um Old Town sportsmen 120 ... vou ficar esperto em Manasquan !
Vlw man, espero que o video ajude... Coloque pelo menos umas corda pra ajudar caso for preciso
That’s why I always go head on to the waves
Its hard if u are going in an inlet with boats coming 2 ways
doesnt your kayak have a drain hole?
Yes and no, its a sit on top so it does have drains on top of it but when water gets inside the kayak it there are no drains
Was this your first time there???? Plenty of boats have turned back instead of going out, that inlet is no joke
It was like my fifth time there but I never had issues before, I guess I learn the hard way lol. I'm glad I got back safe and I hope the video can help some kayakers
