Edit textA wet exit is a self-rescue procedure for a paddler whose boat has tipped. It basically means releasing yourself from anything connecting you to the boat (such as freeing a spray skirt from the rim of the cockpit), pushing yourself out of the boat and swimming to the surface.
A wet exit generally follows a failed roll. Rookies often fear a wet exit, but soon realize that when instinct kicks in, getting out of a boat cockpit is usually quite instinctive.
In white-water kayaking, a wet exit is greatly aided by ensuring, in advance, that your spray skirt's pull tab has not been accidentally tucked under the skirt.
