Rescue of an unconscious patient from a kayak

1:06

Demonstrates the rescue-only technique (not first aid) for getting an unconscious person from the water to shore.

Wrapping up

You have covered the principles of flatwater kayaking, how to teach strokes and manoeuvres, and rescues. Practise the rescues on the water with a partner before you rely on them with a group. Sea Kayak Instructor Training is the next step if you want to take groups onto the sea.
