I agree. In one class, i taught the outrigger version first, then the 
paddlefloat re-enter and roll. Students then asked me, aren't you 
supposed to teach us the easy moves first before the more difficult?

The assisted version--re-enter and bow rescue--is easier for some people 
than the 
launch-yourself-over-the-stern-deck-and-slither-backwards-into-the-cockpit 
  reentry.
