"Pumping out is the part of rescues that rarely gets enough practice because of the work involved in pumping." That is why it is so much better to have a foot pump or an electric pump. You use your paddle, for bracing as needed, while you pump out. Why struggle with a hand pump? Keep it as a backup. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
