Re: [Paddlewise] Mexican Rescue.

Rafael,

Sorry about that! I thought you were claiming and naming the paddlefloat
re-entry and roll. Yes, the method of having the paddle blade under the
thigh brace and spray-skirt to steady the kayak while pumping out is
something that I haven't seen before. Although I am skeptical about how well
the method would hold up when getting hit by a breaking wave, I will have to
give it a try. Thanks for telling us about it.

> I agree with you that there is no magic in it, but..  the subtle point is
that everybody has been discussing on how to keep the outrigger steady to
use both hands to pump and I have suggested the paddle support under the
thigh brace, which has been objected  and nobody has mentioned that they
have used it, and Matt and others questioned that you could not use it with
the sprayskirt on.

and still have the outrigger,  and since Matt was requesting that it had a
name I gave it one.
