I hook the front of the spry skirt on without completely sealing the cockpit. It cuts the amount of water in the boat to a manageable level. Like every technique discussed on this list it depends on the boat/paddle you are using . I have a Mariner MAX with a sliding seat. Before I reenter the seat is moved back to make reentry easier. Never had to do a reentry and roll for real, just in practice situations. PS I fully seal the spray skirt on the beach before entring the surf .
