Great idea on the stirrup. Would you care to share how you ended up in the water? |

cool. I had thought about something like that, but hadn't got around to working on it. Thought I would this summer and train on it while the lake water is warm(er). Thanks for sharing |

I think I may have to make one also, how long or how far did you make it to hang down when you drop it into the water?

Did the same thing with a 5 ft 3 strand rope. Just tied both ends to the handle using bowline knots. It hangs down and gives you a place for one foot, without the pipe. Did 2 of these, one rear and one port side. Picked the port side, being right leg is strongest, and able to push up to swing left leg in. |

Thats a pretty good idea! I just got my PA and haven't yet tried to re-enter it yet. I will be trying this method as well as without any assists. Thanks |

the best way to messure is from knee to foot you have to remeber when your in the water the rear of the kayak is eye level . |
