Top tips from Unsponsored’s friend Bren Orton on how to get vertical in your kayak. Check it out.
Made this video mainly as a reminder for everyone to have fun out there, not to take freestyle too seriously and most importantly, if you haven’t already, to give the “pop out” a try.
Hey Bren, You asked for any history on what you call a pop out, and I thought I’d reply since I’m a bit of history myself here. I can’t tell you who invented it or when it was first done, but it was way over two decades ago. Probably not long after fiber-glass kayaks were first built since, as you say, the move is really easy. I remember doing what I’ve always called either pop-ups or enders in around 1976. (I know since I first did them in California and moved to Massachusetts in 1977.) Thanks for the video!
