Boat Based Rescues

Boat Based Rescues

Roll
T Rescue
Side by Side Rescue (Hand of God)
Exiting your boat in eddies
Entering your boat in eddies
Plowing
Towing (much care should be given to the right amount of friction in the threading of your QRH)
Teaching Tips
Variance in paddler ability can make teaching BBR a challenge.  I think that improving ones paddling skills can be given as "homework".
