Emergency boat repairs

It is so much fun to paddle in-between rocks and close to cliffs but this does come with the risk of damaging your sea kayak.  If you are out for the day and some distance from a get out point you will need to make an emergency repair to get you home.  There are a few different materials you can use to repair a sea kayak that suit different situations.  In our new lesson in the Core Lessons section to our Library James starts off by looking at what to carry in your emergency boat repair kit before smashing a hole in a sea kayak so he can show you different ways to fix it.  Some methods suit small holes while others work well with large holes.  Some methods work even if you cant get the boat dry.  If you paddle regularly along rocky coastlines with limited access points this lesson will be essential to make sure you are fully prepared for a situation where you have a hole in you sea kayak.
