From the Back Cover

The nimble sea kayak is inherently unstable - so it's just a matter of time before you find yourself in the drink! Your ability to right the kayak and reenter it quickly and easily can spell the difference between a dunk and a disaster. Let expert instructors Roger Schumann and Jan Shriner show you the full range of kayak rescues, suitable for beginners and experts alike. From the basic Self-Paddlefloat Rescue and T Rescue to the more advanced Eskimo Rolls, this manual includes every technique you will ever need to rescue yourself - and others - in all sea kayaking conditions. Look inside for information on: safety equipment; easier Eskimo Rolls; solo reentries; assisted reentry techniques; towing methods for disabled boats; rescues in rough water; swimmer rescues; tales of real-life rescues; and simple and fun exercises for building skills and confidence. (7 1/2 X 9, 144 pages, b&w photos)
