行船走馬三分險，意外，往往就是意料之外。
獨木舟雖然能承受很大的風浪，但翻船的可能性依然存在。我們不能期待每一次出海都風平浪靜，因此必須隨時準備好救援的能量。
在海上，遇到翻船脫出的隊友，他們通常已經無法再繼續划船。緊繃的神經、失去的平衡感，讓他們獨自再上船往往會再翻。這時候，就要想辦法帶他們回家——拖船救援就是非常有效的技巧。
前幾天在澎湖，我教舟友們實際操作各種救援。當你知道如何應付狀況，就會有底氣去挑戰更大的風浪。澎湖是一座全年都適合划船的天堂，今年冬天，我們去幹大浪🤙🤙🤙
Towing Rescue
There’s a saying: “Every journey carries its risks.” Accidents, by nature, come when least expected.
Although a sea kayak can handle rough seas, the possibility of capsizing is always there. We can’t count on every outing being calm, so we must always be ready with rescue skills.
Out at sea, when a teammate capsizes and comes out of their kayak, they usually can’t continue paddling. Tense nerves and lost balance mean that if they try to paddle on their own, there’s a high chance they’ll flip again. At that moment, the priority is finding a way to bring them to safe place—and towing rescue is one of the most effective techniques.
Just a few days ago in Penghu, I was teaching fellow paddlers how to perform different rescues. Once you know how to handle these situations, you gain the confidence to take on even bigger conditions. Penghu is a year-round paddling paradise, and this winter, we’re heading out to chase the big waves 🤙🤙🤙
