“As a longtime sea kayaker, but new and ridiculously stoked convert to surf ski paddling, I seem to have a special interest in making sure that someone around me can haul my sodden carcass out of the water after a swim!” says Alex Matthews. Here, Victoria, B.C.-based Matthews and Bob Putnam of Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak (Canada’s largest surf ski dealer) practice a few strategies for aiding a swimmer who’s having a hard time with a solo remount. Watch the video to see how it’s done.
