Throwlines & Towlines
Essential Safety And Rescue Equipment
Throw lines are normally used as a bank-side aid in water rescue scenarios, be that on the bank of a whitewater river when kayaking, on the side of a lake or from a swimming pool. Throw bags are also commonly used in open canoeing as swim lines, attached to each end of the canoe they aid rescues in a whitewater environment.
Tow lines are waist mounted belts that are used by a kayaker to tow another boat and have a safety release mechanism should emergency removal of the belt be needed.
