How hard is it to flip a kayak over?
it depends which way you want to flip it! if you are starting the right way up, then it can be very easy to capsize, just lean over! although you normally learn very quickly how far you can lean without capsizing and it will become second nature, of course it does depend on the type of kayak you are in, different designs behave differently. if you are upside and want to get back up, then yes it is easy to do, but with practice, once you know how to roll a kayak it becomes very easy indeed and requires very little strenght, its all in the technique.

From the tournament angler to the weekend warrior, inshore or off, this livewell is capable of handling almost every fishing situation imaginable! Custom designed to fit the Hobie Mirage Outback, Sport, Adventure, Revolution, and the Quest. Water intake and discharge fit right into the existing scuppers in the cargo area. With a high-flow self-priming Attwood pump, a 6 volt sealed gel cell battery, adjustable drain, and the capability of holding up to 8 gallons of water this tank can handle almost any creature that you can squeeze into it.
- Anchor Trollys - Make it easy to put your anchor just where you need it.
- Angler Workdecks & Dashboards - These handy devices give you a work surface and an place to store all of your small tackle box.
