Sea Kayak Rescue - Paperback
by Roger Schumann (Author), Jan Shriner (Author)
This book is a comprehensive course in all the techniques of sea kayak rescue for beginning, intermediate, and advanced paddlers. Step-by-step photos illustrate the many ways to right a swamped or capsized boat and safely reenter the kayak. Covering both self-rescues and assisted-rescues, this manual provides additional information on towing disabled boats and rescuing swimmers.
The nimble sea kayak is inherently unstable - so it's just a matter of time before you find yourself swimming in the water. Your ability to right the kayak and reenter it quickly and easily can spell the difference between a dunk and a disaster. Expert instructors Roger Schumann and Jan Shriner show the full range of capsize recovery techniques, suitable for beginners and experts alike. From the basic Paddlefloat Self-Rescue and T Rescue to the more advanced Kayak Rolls, this manual includes every technique you will ever need to get yourself - and others - back into a kayak in all sea conditions. Numerous step-by-step photos, detailed explanations, and real-life rescue stories make this book an invaluable resource.
Authors Roger Schumann and Jan Shriner are American Canoe Association-certified instructor trainer educators, kayaking guides, and co-authors of the Guide to Sea Kayaking Central and Northern California.
