No-exit paddle float resque Keep the float under the bungies in front of cockpit. Go over as you would when caught by a gust or freak wave. No need to practice with paddle in any "set-up" position. When upside down grip paddle by the root with one hand. You other hand takes the float by its handle from under the bungies. Move float in position. Push paddle blade in float. Shift grip on paddle - move float forward - outward. From another angle Push blade in float. Shift grip on paddle - move forward - outward. When float out and at right angle to kayak - push down. Picture example not very good. Float should be further out - away from kayak. Missing hip flick made paddler use force. As red face shows. But up he came. When upright no hurry to remove float. You can "paddle" with float on blade waiting for a favourable waveset.
