Kayak sit in: Emptying your kayak and getting back in with the help of another person
It is advisable to practise kayaking as a group. Consequently, should you capsize and fall in the water, you can count on the assistance of your partner.
The kayak paddler in the water takes both paddles and hangs onto the front of the kayak swimming as vertically as possible to stabilise the kayak.
At the same time, the kayak paddler pulls the upturned kayak onto his own (at a right angle) in order to empty it.
Then, both 2 kayaks are positioned parallel to each other and the kayak paddler sitting in his boat holds both paddles and stabilises both kayaks.
At the same time, the other kayak paddler climbs back into his kayak using both kayaks for support (holding his hands at the centre of the kayaks so that they do not capsize).
Then put the spray skirt back on.
