This session, for people who paddle long boats* with spray skirts, will be focused on what to do when you fall out of your boat. We&#39;ll demonstrate how to do a wet exit, an assisted rescue, and a self-rescue. We&#39;ll all have plenty of time to practice these skills--so plan on having fun, getting wet, and learning some essential skills. If you plan to paddle on Lake Superior for the upcoming Rookie Rendezvous and other trips you&#39;ll need to demonstrate that you can do self- and assisted rescues. So come on out and learn--or refresh--your skills!<br /> These videos preview what we will be doing:<br />How to wet exit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By4PgYkeJzw<br />How to do a T-rescue: https://youtu.be/a8CYbL_mmC0<br />How to do a self-rescue: https://youtu.be/IUHYtQR79Z4<br /><br />Bring a paddle float and pump if you have them. <br /><br />*Note that we will hold a session at another time for rec kayaks.
