Before leaving the shore, you should ensure that everything you need is in the kayak. Most necessarily, make sure that your paddle is very close to the boat for easy access when leaving the shore. Kayaking can indeed be fun until you fall off the boat, especially for people who are new to this adventure. If you do not have a clue on how to get back in your kayak once you fall off, here is some handy information for you.
If your kayak did not flip when you fell, you should flip it over to get back on it easily. Do this by reaching out to the bottom of your kayak, which floats on water and holds the boat by the scupper holes or edge. Lift the knees to the top of your boat, which should be underwater by now and pull the boat towards you until it flips over.
If you do capsize you want to flip your kayak and try and grab the handles that are located in the middle of the kayak. Use balance and pull yourself back into the kayak.
Make sure that you try and get as much water out of the kayak as possible that might have come in when it capsized.
Once you are back on the kayak, get water from the boat right before refastening the boat skirt to the cockpit. After stabilizing, deflate and get rid of the boat paddle float. You should always make sure to re-adjust the kayak paddle float, as well as the bilge pump to the kayak deck before embarking on your kayaking adventure.
Finally, always have a life jacket on you before going into the waters. It allows you to concentrate on getting back on the kayak instead of trying to keep your head on the water when you fall off. Remember, that in the event of you falling out of your kayak the most important thing to do is remain calm and take these steps and use them correctly to ensure that you get right back in and continue on paddling!
