Our Rescues and Recoveries class is for sea kayakers who want to gain or review the fundamental skill set of rescuing themselves and others. Our goal is to provide as much practice time as possible, emphasizing process and technique and imparting the knowledge to stay aware and safe in a near shore environment. This is a calm water class within a protected harbor, and by course end students will know how to perform a self-reentry, empty a flooded boat and perform an assisted rescue.
A sampling of the course content includes:
- Proper wet exit techniques/rescue priorities
- What to carry and outfitting for rescue management
- Paddle float rescue
- T Rescue, with and without the heel hook
- Rescue variations
- Judgement and decision making
