PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SRA APPLICATIONS:

*CREATES A HIGHLY STABLIZED PLATFORM
FOR SELF-RESCUE, FISHING, PHOTOGRAPHY, DIVING AND RESTING.

The SOLO RESCUE ASSIST (SRA) devices consist of a water filled counter-balance and an optional ladder-platform. Both devices were specifically designed and developed for solo/tandem canoe and kayak self rescue. Both devices are patented under US Utility Patent # 6769378 and Canadian Patent # CA 2546927.

Note 1: Auto-compensating stability is maintained as the dynamically changing weight of paddler, as he lifts himself out of the water and up onto the cockpit, is automatically compensated by a dynamically changing weight of the water-filled container as it incrementally rises above the waterline, adding an instantaneously equal and opposite balancing force. Lifts stops when equilibrium is approached. Functional weight capacity of paddler, up to a maximum 280 pounds.
