Paddlewisers, During the last year and a half, I have hosted 4 rescue practice sessions for kayaking clubs I am involved in. The most recent one was today. With a membership over 500 between these clubs, you'd think that there would be a lot people at these rescues practices. Well, there isn't! I have been averaging about 7 people at each practice, and almost all of them have been my best paddling buddies. I think a lot of sea kayakers take a rescue class and then never practice rescues again. Locally, I have only heard once about another small group practicing rescues. I am on the water every week, I can't recall ever seeing other sea kayakers practicing rescues. It is unfortunate that so many sea kayakers don't know how fun it is to practice rescues.
