My name is Ted, I am excited to hear that you want to practice of this self rescue. I think it is awesome if there are someone to work with, if you are ok, please count me in. I am a strong swimmer, love waves, own a kayak, wet suit and enough gears. Let me know the time and location. I have time to do both, Friday after lunch and whole Saturday.

There is a strong focus on re-entry techniques as well as the skills required to safely plan and execute a day trip with friends (for example, navigation & route planning, weather interpretation, proper clothing/gear.)Prerequisites
