The nimble sea kayak is inherently unstable - so it's just a matter of time before you find yourself swimming in the water. Your ability to right the kayak and reenter it quickly and easily can spell the difference between a dunk and a disaster.
Expert instructors Roger Schumann and Jan Shriner show the full range of capsize recovery techniques, suitable for beginners and experts alike. From the basic Paddlefloat Self-Rescue and T Rescue to the more advanced Kayak Rolls, this manual includes every technique you will ever need to get yourself - and others - back into a kayak in all sea conditions. Numerous step-by-step photos, detailed explanations, and real-life rescue stories make this book an invaluable resource.
