That is also to be taken for what it is, a statment that is usually true, but not always: I doubt Hannes Lindemann could roll his heavily loaded Klepper Aerius II, when he crossed the Atlantic - he knew how to get back onboard if the boat accidentally rolled, which it did, at least twice, in hurricanes, and then the weather was good he took a daily bath, which naturally needed re-entering skills. So train re-entering, and, if feasable with your type of kayak, rolling, if you're going off shore!
