One way to improve … One way to improve and make sure this rescue is more successful is to ensure that the end of the paddle you rest on the boat (ie, not with the paddle float) goes underneath all of the deck cords (bungees and deck lines).

In the very … In the very beginning of the video you are putting the paddlefloat onto the paddle with the boat right side up. This is very, very hard to do in rough conditions. A better way would be to keep the boat upside down and place a foot into the cockpit. You can put the float onto the paddle while the boat is upside down, plus the boat won’t get away from you in the wind. Only turn the kayak over once you’ve got the paddlefloat onto the paddle and you’re ready to proceed.

my question is how … my question is how would this technique go in the surf?
i am not a expert but i could see it possibly been flawed with waves moving the paddle around
