I don't paddle a kayak, so I may be somewhat clueless here. The few kayak self-rescue videos I've watched show paddles being shoved under deck cord to provide stability for the boat during re-entry and that makes sense. But I'm having a hard time understanding how deck cord is helpful to pulling oneself back into a kayak via a side entry. I can possibly see how cord might be helpful for a cowboy entry. If someone can point to a video where this is illustrated or explain it, I would like to understand the technique. Thanks.
