Open Water Canoe Rescue

Many canoeists practice deep water and self rescues so they can recover after an accidental capsize.  Many people also wonder if these work in ‘real’ conditions – can you do a solo recovery in rough water and wind?  The answer is ‘yes’!  This short clip was filmed in Force 5 (gusting force 6) winds on Kielder Water in Northumberland on an ‘Open Water Safety and Rescue’ training course.
