The rafted tow is a simple yet effective way of helping a fellow kayaker in distress: All you need is a tow line and a good sense of balance!
It’s a good idea to practice both sides of the equation: set up the tow and get a feel for pulling other kayaks, and also practice rafting up with another kayaker and having a third person tow you both.
Be sure to practice clipping in and of the system to ensure you’re well prepared for any circumstance!
