The subtle differences in various rescue and rolling techniques can be confusing :-) "I also had to do a HOG at a CKF practice session. A woman was practicing an assisted re entry with another paddler and she had a new boat with a very tight skirt. It was so tight she couldn't remove it. After she was under for quite a while I went in and did a HOG to get her upright" In twenty years of teaching sea kayaking I have probably performed every conceivable variation of rescue countless times. But I don't really consider the instructional environment to be the same thing as doing it in "real" conditions. Just my opinion. That said, I'm all about the practice :-) Scott So.Cal. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
