    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.
