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.
