Every paddler is going to have their go-to rescue. For many, with practice, the Cowgirl as with the Cowboy scramble can be a great option. For those I have taught, it has been easy to learn and a great confidence builder, both in self and assisted rescues.

Very good, but I would like to see a capsize, wet exit, then get back in.

Your boat without water. If You pour the water (after the revolution it will be full) - it's going to come out. But looks nice, good for you !

Good job and impressive balance. Not many second chances before eating the rocks in there

It would be very difficult on a narrower performance kayak. A lot more paddle action would be required.
