Place the kayak in the center of the wave pool.
Attach three bungee cords to either side of the kayak.
Attach the other end of the bungee cords to either side of the pool to hold the kayak in the middle of the pool.
Position two underwater cameras in front of the kayak under the water. Ensure that the cameras will not move when the water reaches higher speeds.
Position two underwater cameras behind the kayak under the water. Ensure that these cameras are not able to move as well.
Start the cameras and the wave-pool water. Begin sending the waves toward the kayak at 5 kilometers an hour.
Increase the speed of the water 1 kilometer per hour at a time, recording what you see happening to the kayak.
Watch for when the kayak begins to break apart. Record at what speed this occurs.
Ask the wave-pool mechanic the pressure/force the water was being pushed at to create the water speed for the kayak to break. This pressure is the breakaway force for the kayak you are testing.
