Operator / victim stated that he was paddling east from the area of Lightning Jacks III Marina in the channel.  He turned to starboard to approach his residence.  The current created by the outgoing tide caused the cockpit of his kayak to fill with water when he turned.  He paddled into a shallow area south of the channel so that he could exit his kayak and empty the water from the cockpit.  As he tried to exit the kayak it capsized.  The operator was removed from the water by Brick Fire Department and transported to Meridian / Jersey Shore Medical Center where he was admitted and treated for hypothermia.  The kayak was secured at the owners residence by the trooper.  The operator / victim was released from the hospital on 03-29-2011.
