Perhaps Sponsons would have been a better option under these circumstances? It seems to me that sponsons would provide a more stable kayak under "challenging" circumstances. The conditions that led to the capsize will still exist when you re-enter your kayak. If the conditions are beyond your skill level, the odds of re-capsizing are high. Once could leave the sponsons inflated while paddling back to shore. Thoughts?
