Videos: Self rescue and kayak crabbing

Hey Zee I see you grab each side's handles to pull yourself up. Is that more stable than just grabbing the far side? I've always just grabbed the far side   so far. jim

Thanks.  I've only practiced it myself once without the gear.   

That's the way I learned it from SCallen. If it works for you I guess why not. I think when you grab both handles it gives you more control, especially in bumpy water.

Yaks w/o handles I'd go for both hands on the far side from your body.  You could probably accomplish self-rescue w/o your hands if you could kick hard enough...

This is making me want to get out and do some SR!

Me too!

I'm going to try it both ways back to back come April 1st, unless I fall off sooner  , on my Revo & see which way feels better. Thanks for the vid. jim
