| - | Sitting in your surfski, it is probably easier to grab the narrower, higher front end of the surfski you are stabilizing for your remounting swimmer. Floating in the water it is probably easier to grab the flatter rear end of the surfski you are stabilizing. | + | * **Rescuer Sitting In Their Surfski: **may be easier for the rescuer to grab the narrower, higher front end of the surfski being stabilized for the remounting swimmer. |
| + | * **Rescuer Floating In The Water:** easier for the rescuer to grab the lower, flatter rear end of the surfski rescuer is stabilizing. In rougher conditions, the rescuer probably would want to keep their ski farther back so it less likely to interfere with the remount. But in really rough conditions the rescuer may have difficulty keeping their ski out of the way. Jumping in on the downwind side of the surfski being rescued may be the better option in rougher conditions. | ||

But clearly you do not want to spend much time in the water if it is cold and you are not adequately dressed for immersion. Don't create a 2nd cold water victim. Note | + | * This method can be simpler and require less practice than learning to reliably remain in your ski while stabilizing someone else's ski for their remount. But clearly you only do this if your remount is totally reliable: you do not want to spend much time in the water if it is cold and you are not adequately dressed for immersion. **Don't create a 2nd cold water victim.** |
