Large and Heavier Canoes are hard to flip. This is a technique that's a bit easier to manage.
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!
