Capsize Recoveries & Rescue Procedures (DVD)

Covers in great detail techniques and proven procedures for recovering from capsizes and rescues in virtually any kayaking situation. Stresses how to prevent capsizes from becoming emergencies.

Part of instructor Wayne Horodowich's University of Sea Kayaking video series, this DVD focuses on what happens after a kayak goes over. It walks through self-recoveries and assisted rescues, along with the procedures that help a group respond quickly and calmly.

The emphasis is on preparation, so a capsize stays a routine event rather than becoming an emergency. Solo paddlers, trip leaders and instructors can use it to review methods before practicing them in a pool or sheltered water with proper supervision.
