Kayaker 1 clips tow line into his kayak. Kayaker 2 clips into 1's kayak. Kayaker 3 clips into 2's kayak, etc. Kayaker 1 wet exits and times swell with a swim to rocks. Climbs rocks and pulls kayak up to perch and releases tow line. Kayaker 1 detaches kayaker 2's tow line from kayaker 1's boat and pulls boat in slightly, careful to time swell. At most advantagious time kayaker 2 wet exits, swims to rocks while kayaker 1 pulls in boat. Repeat for kayaker 3.
