If your balance is not right it's easy to flip over when you put your energy into the throw. It's important to have your kayak pointing at the person you are throwing the bag to. If your boat is at right angles to the victim your chances of dumping are much higher. Doing it on flat water is easier, however I imagine conditions would be quite bad should you ever need to do this - thus the possibility of success would be greatly diminished. For anyone in the Victoria BC area the Wednesday morning paddlers from the Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club are getting together at Elk Lake (the north end by the beach) to practice rolling, safety tows, rescues and such. Meet at 9 a.m. and on the water at 10 a.m. the water will be cold so bring immersion gear. Give me a call if you're interested 472-1869.
