There are only two ways I know of.
The first is what Stan taught me. Go to back of the kayak and shimmy up from the back. Grab the cockpit and shimmy up and then straddle the kayak and slip right in.
It is tiring but works.
The other I have done in a kayak and Canoe on the opposite side of the cock pit tie a rope to a main part of the kayak or canoe. On the other end of rope tie a loop in it.
Then on the side you enter in you will put on foot in the rope loop and then pull your self up by counter balance with your own weight.
Little simpler but tiring as well.
Easier in a canoe
