Learning the reflexive low brace

A solid reflexive low brace will save your bacon more often than any other kayaking skill. It's easy to learn and you don't even need to get wet!  One commenter below correctly noted that where I say "push up out of the water" what is really going on is pulling the kayak under you with your hips. I just say it the way I do because it seems to communicate the skill better even though it's not technically accurate. It's also something your body just does automatically. The vital components, are Tip, Slap, Slice. Your body will do the rest.
