this was excellent instruction... great stuff...

You should ask the person being rescued to hold onto your and his paddle,while clinging onto your bow if possible.his paddle is drifting off.not good if the conditions were a little more rough.
-
I think the focus is being safe. You sound so technical it is probably hard to be practical...............paddle more
-
true but either method is ok as long as he doesnt lift it so high!

I regard this video as excellent. VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE RESCUED PARTY STABILIZES THE RESCUING KAYAK - this is done by hanging onto the bow. One aspect not to forgotten - in rough seas or surf the situation may be very different, and the best is to get to shore ASAP. Secondly, the rescuer should, if possible, secure the rescued party's paddle - this is often forgotten! Overall - a good video!

This rescue is not performed safely. Never have the person you rescue put their face that close to the bow or stern, in waves they can get their face bashed. Also the rescuer lifts the boat up high, this can cause shoulder injuries, the boat only needs to be slid over your cockpit until their cockpit is out of the water and it can drain out.
