The self-rescue paddle grips are mounted behind the cockpit. The Kajak Sport paddle grips are suitable for any paddle, regardless of its diameter.
This self-rescue technique is as follows:
- After a capsize, you first drain the kayak and turn it over to its normal position
- Inflate the < https://www.bg-kayak.com/en/product/paddle-float-an-aid-for-re-entering-the-kayak-after-capsizing/">Paddle float and attach it to the blade.
- Attach the paddle to the grips with Velcro.
- Use the paddle as support to climb into the kayak, making sure your weight is transferred to the paddle by the time you sit in the kayak.
See the video.
Many people in single kayaks rely on this self-rescue technique, either because they are paddling alone or because if they are paddling in company, no one knows mutual rescue techniques.
Rescue and self-rescue techniques can be learned and practiced with us by signing up for kayak – training .
The price is for a set of 2 self-rescue paddle grips.
