Well said: Better safe than sorry!  oppps, back to work!  |

A throwbag and a first aid kit are an absolute must anytime you put your boat on moving water.

i guess just don't swim and don't look like a porpoise  |

Better looking at it than lookin for it, even on the coast. If on a rocky slippy sjore, its alot easier to walk the lenght of the rope and then drag the full boat? esp when its dark.

Although not used often in a sea kayak it does not hurt to keep a shorter thin line throw bag around.
They do not take up much room and in areas where there is no shore line read sttep fjords and cliff coastlines, where a distressed paddler can get pushed into some seriously rough situations, it makes a rescue possible without having to paddle into the same wave action against the walls of the cliff. It is not a frquently used item but it happens if you are out with inexperienced paddlers or someone who forgets that wave action and small tide surges against a rockwall are serious. I bring one out and have used it. Similar to bringing a kayak up below a large hydraulic and throwing out a line without getting yuorself pulled into the hydraulic with the victim. |

in Belgium, you must have a throwbag in your boat when you are on the sea. this is at last one in the group. I haven't one by my self, but always use one of our club. always 50% of our group has one when we are on rivers.

still what if you had to make the throw because someone is caught in a hole and it turns out that you are the only one that is capable of getting him out and then you don't have one

I always carry a throwbag when boating on rivers in case I need it to help rescue a boating friend. My best friends carry throwbags so they can rescue me if necessary.
