In sea kayaking, rescue refers primarily to the righting of a swamped or capsized boat and the paddler's re-entry. This can be accomplished by the paddler alone ("self-rescue"), or with the assistance of other kayakers ("assisted rescue"). This book is a comprehensive course in all the techniques of sea kayak rescue for beginning, intermediate, and advanced paddlers, with additional information on towing disabled boats and rescuing swimmers.
