Your Host: Peter Casson
Peter Casson has been working in the outdoor business for twenty years. As Kayak Guide and outdoor recreation specialist and is now director of the Kayak School for EMS, Eastern Mountain Sports in Lincoln Woods, Rhode Island.
A native of England, he spent his childhood in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District walking the mountains and hills with his family. At the ripe age of 8, Peter began kayaking and soon proceeded through the British Canoe Union syllabus. By his early 20′s he was instructing in Bavaria and the Hertz Mountains in Germany on both white water and flat water. Before completing his 14 years with the British Army he found time to sail the west coast of Scotland and explore much of the British coastline in a sea kayak.
Once arriving in the States in 1999 he had the opportunity to work with the American Canoe Association and achieve Advanced Open Water Instructor Trainer status to complement his British Canoe Union Coach 4 Sea Award and Coach 3 River and a Level 3 Assessor.

That was a re-entry and roll. I dont think you could slide up the rear deck of a kayak in the conditions that put you in the water in the first place.
If your a solo regular then it’s important to be self-sufficient and be able to re-enter and roll but in rough seas it’s not always easy. Do practise cos it could save your life one day.
Like how he got …
Like how he got back in the boat at 2:51. Gotta try that. Looked he took on more water than if he had slithered up back behind his cockpit but the rescuer could have held the empty boat a little tighter and kept it from rolling so much when the guy levered himself in.
