There is only one problem with the paddlefloat re-entry and roll, which is that while rolling up you scoop the maximum capacity of water inside the kayak. If one has a foot pump, or electric pump, then the paddlefloat re-entry and roll is virtualy bomb proof. Otherwise, in calm waters, doing the paddlefloat outrigger re-entry saves many minutes of pumping. Still nothing beats staying inside the kayak with the spray skirt on. - Julio > > In fact, The re-entry roll is so much more dependable than the traditional > "outrigger technique" that I think it is irresponsible to teach the > outrigger technique.
