Incorporating the rear bunjies to hold the paddle during a paddlefloat rescue is certainly the easiest way to perform the rescue. Using the rear bunjies really requires very little technique. However, not all boats are fitted with rear deck bunjies. Doing the paddlefloat rescue without the use of the rear bunjies requires a bit more technique, and practice to perfect. It is precisely for those reasons that I teach the paddlefloat rescue without the use of the rear bunjies. I may demonstrate the use of the bunjies, but I want my students to learn how to do it without.
