The self rescue!

[Zee]

A quick video of how to do a self rescue. Pretty basic and something we should all know how to do. Make sure to practice once a year so when time comes to use it it's a snap. Enjoy and be safe out there kids.

thanks Bryce
I just started introducing SOTing to my special lady friend and this is a great visual aid.
I still plan on waiting for warmer weather before the aquatic bootcamp begins, but this is a great start.

Assuming your using the GoPro cam, Is it mounted or mountable with a 1/4" threaded holder?
working on a new V-mount and may pick up a GoPro in the near future
thanks again

Nice, clean How-To there Zee!  That was a quality short.

Now we want one in the surf!!!!

You make it look easy.  Thanks.  (Wish I had a special lady friend I could show it to.  But my wife might like to watch it.  I'll check.)

Nice job Zee! What camera were you using?

Good tutorial Zee. What's up with Tupperware's Cobra navigator comment?

Nice job Zee! What camera were you using?

I had the same question, but from the credits after the clip and the fact that it looks like around 720p is it safe to say it was a GoPro?
That is one sick little toy! 
I'm going to have to start saving up for one of those!

FFTW bought my old Cobra Navigator XF.  It has a fairly high center of gravity and is a "dry ride" but as such can be a bit tricky to get back into during a self rescue.   With a little practice and even that isn't too bad.

Thanks you guys. Glad it can be helpful.

Assuming your using the GoPro cam, Is it mounted or mountable with a 1/4" threaded holder?

It is a GoPro cam and has a mounting system of it's own. Kind of like a hinge. Cool thing is that I use a suction cup mount that will work on any smooth surface. If you have a smooth kayak, like I know you do, it's awesome!

Now we want one in the surf!!!!   

Yeah that one has been on the list. Sure I'll get to it sometime this summer.

I'm in the process of making a full review on this camera and it's safe to say I'm quite impressed. The image quality is very impressive.

Primarily, I'm just yanking his chain   

In fact, I'm pretty sure Zee could have done that vid with the Nav XF just fine as he has a bit more reach and is more athletic than I am. He makes it look easy because it is once you have practiced it 3 or 4 times (literally)

On the other hand, it's really important to note that you try DO some deep water reboarding practice in your own boat(s). I love to puff up my chest and say I can dump my boat and be back on without getting my hat wet. And I could back that up too until one day on the Tualatin that reminded me that our boats come in slightly different flavors.
