G'Day Haven't seen the video's but if the boat is a sea kayak then I'd hope it could handle landing and occasionally being trashed in the kind of breaking waves and surf most sea kayakers would have to cope with. This excludes hitting rocks or sand when anything can happen. That said giving an open ended guarantee for a sea kayak is about as brave / risky as landing through 'big' (1m to 2m) surf.
