Re: seek feedback

Re: C1 Creeking & Twin-Pin Rescue.

Yeah, [it came from a UK forum] one of the major problems with having a highly developed scheme of instruction for all aspects of paddling is that people who don't paddle all that regularly start to take teaching points ("don't put yourself in danger as a rescuer" in this case) as gospel, rather th...
