About this event

All good, until we fall out of our boat. Dressed well, we can swim, but not far or long in our cold waters. We really want to be back in our boats, moving forward.

In this class we will practice getting back into our boats. The primary way we do this is the buddy rescue. I'll cover some prime tips to do this efficiently. Done well, this rescue works in wild conditions.

Secondly, we can work on getting ourselves back in our boats. Learn to scramble, taco, or paddle float your way back to the airy side of the divide.

Dress quite warm for class. Afterwards, gather around a fire pit at Stones throw to bask in memory of skills improved and the warmth of propane combusting.
