Chef......I recommend this to others and it is very important. You need to be able to climb back into your kayak should it roll in deep water. Take your yak out in fresh water first! Test drive it, get used to it and here is the important part......get out of your kayak in water over your head (10 feet deep) and practice climbing into your kayak for safety sake! You will one day find yourself in the water......this was the best piece of advice I received!!
