This is simple and to the point. Thanks. New kayak with smaller cockpit. I’m finding different kayaks require different enter / exit strategies. Thanks.

I've been kayaking a few times now, and I never realized there were official ways to get in and out of the kayak... I always just get in it and go lol.

Everyone teaches the paddle behind the back thing. It's awkward as hell. I don't recommend it. The straddle works well though.

There's also The Cisco Kid method where you take a run at breakneck speed from the shore, leap half the kayak and land in the seat. One wrinkle they never mention is when you're old and the bladder don't work (panic dismount). The boys & girls in a power boat just had to follow me so I went in a tiny secluded alcove of fallen trees & branches to pee, stepped out & my foot slid on a slimy submerged tree then into mud slime 12 inches deep and I fell face first into the 6" water with a few feet of black mud slime under it, grazed my shin and filled the kayak with swamp water smelling of old cabbages.

Now my knees are starting to go so I still have issues with getting off this thing lol I have resolved to paddle into shore as far as I can, backwards, put my legs over the sides, stand up and push the boat out between my legs then I can stand up normally. Lol lol lol the guy I bought it from told me he would just paddle in to about 3’ of water and bail out over the side lol lol lol

if the water is that cold that means you probably should be wearing a wetsuit. Always kayak thinking you are going in the water.

Buy yourself some water shoes neoprene or something like it. I have never been able to get in and out of a kayak without getting my feet wet. It's rare that there's a dock and it's even more rare to find a shoreline where that can happen.

why dont Kayak manufacturers make sit in kayaks with a lot bigger openings? it would be alot easier t get in and out of for those who only kayak for fun or for olde or fatter people. sit ons are great but sometimes I like my sit in, its just hard for me to exit with any bit of grace with my bad leg. lol Entering isnt to bad if I do it with the boat in really shallow water so it doesnt flip!! lol..

@@barry4fish19 thanks! I have since graduated to a 13’ fishing kayak that’s a “sit on top” it’s so much easier to get on and off of. It’s a world of difference except you get wet a lot more which is ok because we will usually stop some place and get out and swim.

The old-school method had us sitting on the paddle shaft, but this is a modern variation: we don't sit on the shaft, we just use the paddle for bracing.
