  • @Tootsall i realy agree about the foum float .way better!!

  • So that's what a paddle float is for! Thanks. What I've done is pulled myself up at the stern, straddling it and then pulled myself to the cockpit.

  • The problem with staying downwind of the kayak is that, if the wind is strong enough, it will tend to keep pushing the boat "onto" and over the swimmer and his feet will be "stuck" under the boat. This can make getting the foot up onto the paddle very problematic if not impossible. Personal experience speaking.

    Also, in very cold water (Pac. NW), the time taken to blow up an inflatable paddle float can push the "time in water" up to where hypothermia can be an issue. Better a foam float.

  • Thank you very much for this video.

    A newbie.

  • That was fantastic! Thank you.
