Perhaps there are regional differences in teaching bow rescues to new 
sea kayakers.  On
the east coast, where I learned, before skills are learned (edging, 
bracing), the wet exit
and then the bow rescue are learned and practiced and perfected.  I was 
taught to bang
on the hull, and if no one came, then wet exit.   It's a no risk, no 
stress waiting period.  And
it has saved me a few wet exits.
