If you paddle on rivers and carry a rescue throw bag, throwing coils is an essential skill: you can get a second throw without taking the time to re-stuff your bag.
Another advantage to coils is that you can throw less rope. Throwing less rope can limit the amount of rope in a river (entrapment issue); leave you with rope in your bag for a ’split bag’ (see Split Bag video); and for many people is more
Watch clear demos of butterfly coils, the TRU method, and loops— all are good ways to coil a rope for a ’throw’ rescue in whitewater.
