Self-Rescue Training - North Sea Nov 25

Here are the self-rescues I tried that day. Admittedly conditions were calm although the temperature hovered around freezing. Thankfully I was kitted out in Reed Chillcheater’s Transpire Fleeces and Paddle Suit - Toasty!

• Eskimo Rolls-both sides:

• Front deck - 100%

• Back deck - dubious but recovered to front deck roll ok

• Dry exit and re-entry over back deck - 100%
• Wet Re-entry & Roll - 100%
• Paddlefloat wet Re-entry and Roll - 100%
• Paddlefloat outrigger re-entry - 100%
• Split-spare paddle roll ie lose main paddle underwater and grab spare - 100% -Capsice and swim to shore through surf-break with swim-line deployed - 100%

Overall, happy with the outcome. Maybe I need to repeat in less calm conditions and at night?
