![How to get BACK IN when your Canoe tips over [SOLO]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lFP1cHGVQkM/mqdefault.jpg "How to get BACK IN when your Canoe tips over [SOLO]
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 thats a bit easier to manage.
This is good for canoeing for beginners or advanced canoeists.
Its used if you find yourself far from shore and cant swim to it.
Since this canoe is about 166 long - the Capistrano Flip Method doesnt 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!

I use a canoe bailer, and do solo canoe rescue techniques, not really solo canoe reviews but more deep water canoe rescue. Will work with Swift canoes and nova craft canoes as well as any other.
