    In short: WEAR A LIFE JACKET.

    As long as you do, it’s as simple as swimming to the shore of whatever lake or other body of water you’re kayaking in, while dragging the kayak behind you (they float even when turned upside-down). I probably would’ve drowned that one time I flipped if I wasn’t wearing a life vest, but thankfully I was wearing one and it was no big deal.

    Try it out near the shore of a calm lake at first, and you’ll gain the skills and confidence necessary to have a great time 👍

    Edit: I should mention that flipping naturally dumps you out of the kayak as long as there’s nothing in your way, so before you know it you’re already surfaced next to it.
