Wear your PFD... operate a console... and wear your kill switch... much safer!!!

That was part of the training with ORCA (Ontario Recreational Canoe Association) back in the day when I was an instructor.

I'm talking an open canoe here, not a yak.

Practice is a must.

Or just don't fall out.

Actually..WE really need to learn this & ALWAYS wear a PFD.

Before I even bought my kayaks, I took rolling clinics at a wave pool, the it progressed to the lessons in white water on the big Ottawa River. It saves lives. Sure looks like a lot of work (and unsafe) having to bail from your biggest floatation device other than your pfd ... just to get back in. It's actually really easy to roll a flat water kayak upright, even with some gear on it. It's not easy when you are tossed around like in a washing machine.
