Last summer, a friend of mine and I went out about 100 yards off shore in Lake Superior. Waves were about 2 to 2 1/2 feet. He is a BCU Coach 2, and quite capable paddler. He tried a paddle float rescue several times and couldn't do it. He then did a "reentry and roll" and was successful on the first try. I am reminded what Ken Fink said at a symposium in response to a question about whether a person could do this in rough water. His resonse was: "I don't know if you can do it, go out and see if you can". >John Baughman > > >At 07:06 AM 1/7/80 -0800, you wrote: >>My computer crashed a couple of weeks ago, so I've been out of the loop - >>not sure if anyone recently has had a thread going on regarding the paddle >>float rescue.
