Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:21:43 -0700

http://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.

http://www.rei.com Katie and Brad, REI Outdoor School instructors, demonstrate a "T" rescue in this video. You've capsized and are out of your kayak. Your partner moves her boat perpendicular to your bow. Swim to the back of your boat and push down on the stern. At the same time, your partner lifts your bow and pulls it onto her deck. She then dumps the water out of it and sets your boat back in the water (right side up). She sets the two boats parallel and facing in opposite directions. While she leans over and stabilizes your kayak, you pull yourself up from the other side. Keep your weight low and spread between the two boats.
