This is good for rafters but kayakers will have their paddle so they need to use it instead of open hands.

Hi Willa!

This is too painful to watch. I got stuck in a hole for approx 80 seconds in a surf on a class IV section of Clear Creek, something I've run a lot and one of my favorite rapids. Exhaustion set in, and I pulled the skirt. The IV section is all blast rock. I hit every rock until I found a mid-river eddy, then worked my way swimming to shore. This really sucked and was my work swim in 8 seasons. My video does not do any justice. Sore, lots of Motrin, and back in teh boat the next day.
