When he turtles you can see he lost all momentum due to his week efforts.
Use your core and paddle hard and straight...to include digging the paddle back in the water once the lip passes your hips.

I think this has some good points and value. I drive an Outback for exactly the reasons YakDout states. However during launch and land, I tend to have my oars out. Yeah, I can certainly improve, and getting some skill with the oars really helps with rough launches and landings.
I dont know if its me, the Outback design, or a general aspect of all/most fishing kayaks, but even small La Jolla waves tend to send me sideways.
