Re: [Paddlewise] Entrapment

Actually, I did do a hand of god rescue on one of our paddles several months
ago.  It was much easier than the practice one I did with you.  I don't know
why he couldn't wet exit but he tried to roll several times and failed and
just fatigued after a surf launch.  It does work.  When upright he was able
to rest and catch his breath and no one on the paddle was the wiser except
for one other paddler who asked me about it later.
