The likelihood of flipping over in a kayak can greatly depend on several factors including the type of kayak you’re using, the conditions of the water, and your kayaking technique. Sit-on-top kayaks are generally more stable and less likely to capsize compared to sit-inside kayaks. However, with proper training on balance and paddle techniques, the risk of flipping over can be significantly minimized. It’s also worth noting that in calm, flat waters and under normal conditions, capsizing isn’t a common occurrence for beginners.
