Essential kayaking skills?

I've done most of those skills in isolation.  Paddling underwater by itself exhausts my breath control very quickly.  All the head underwater activities would be much harder during a RACE.

I would still need to try, or to master the following:

  • Switching to a reverse straddle before paddling backwards.
  • The front deck spin, though I've done it much more slowly on the back deck.
  • Spear the hula hoop with the kayak's bow.
  • Upside down pushing feet above the water.
  • The flip re-entry.
  • I have stood up in a kayak, and damaged my skin-on-frame in the process.  However, I'm not sure I could touch the bell.

Definitely a fun video to watch.
