The more rescues you know how to perform, the more safety tools you have in your pocket. Learn new rescue and towing techniques or refine those you already know—in this class you'll break into smaller groups based on experience to work toward your specific goals.
Possible skills to be covered include: Using a paddle float to perform a self-rescue, an important skill to get back into your boat without assistance; modifications to the t-rescue; use of a stirrup for self or assisted rescue; bow rescue; haul-ups and all-in rescues; single-line tow; contact tow; and releasing under tow. Wetsuits or hydroskins may be required for this class.
