How To Recover & Right Flipped Kayaks:
Learn Eskimo Roll Self-Rescue
Techniques
Kayaking Nation's new guide provides several self-rescue
techniques you can use to recover when your kayak flips
over.
The self-rescue
techniques highlighted in
Kayaking Nation’s new
guide range in difficulty
from beginner to
advanced.
The sit-on-top, sit-inside,
and paddle float techniques
are considered beginner,
whereas the Eskimo roll
technique is regarded as
advanced.
In addition to the type of
kayak you're righting,
some external factors
can help determine
which self-rescue
technique will be most
suitable.
For example, hazards
such as rocks, downed
trees, and other
submerged objects can
seriously impede your
ability to right your
kayak.
To make self-rescue easier, the guide recommends some
accessories that other kayakers have found useful when
recovering.
These include personal flotation devices, spray skirts, paddle
floats, bailing buckets, kayak sponges, and personal locator
beacons.
