Learn how to get back in a canoe / Flip and Re-Enter if you find it takes on water or capsizes. Used in deep water when your alone / solo! Large and Heavier Canoes are hard to flip. This is a technique that's a bit easier to manage. This is good for canoeing for beginners or advanced canoeists. It's used if you find yourself far from shore and cant swim to it. Since this canoe is about 16'6 long - the Capistrano Flip Method doesn't really work for me. In this video I show how to empty a swamped canoe, flip it over, and then get in - all in deep water. Best piece of advice I can give here is to practice the technique so you can stay calm and perform it if you ever need to!
