Kayak mayhem on the River Etive.
www.rei.com Brad, an REI Outdoor School instructor, demonstrates in the video how to do a self rescue after your kayak capsizes. After you’ve done your wet exit (see related video) get hold of your paddle and your boat so the wind doesn’t take them away. Get your paddle float, which you stored in an easily accessible place. Put one leg into the submerged cockpit so that you can keep both hands free without your boat getting away from you. Inflate the paddle float and slide its sleeve over the paddle blade and secure it to the paddle shaft with its clips. Now flip your kayak back over by reaching under the water and pulling the far combing towards yourself while pushing on the near-side combing. Position your paddle perpendicular across the boat, with the paddle float acting as an outrigger. Give a kick and pull yourself up, keeping your weight low and spread between the boat and the paddle float outrigger. Pump out the water using your bilge pump and put the spray skirt back on the cockpit combing. You’re all set to go!
