When someome in the group shouts "STOP", carry out the below actions from the Individual Rescue Risk Assessment process:
[Hover mouse over pictures]
Stop - Am I safe?
If necessary move to safe place.
Position Kayak correctly pointing into wind, tide or swell.

Can I perform the rescue effectively?
Do I have the skills, strength and training?
Don't get involved if you will have a negative effect!

Is the casualty/victim Proactive or Inactive (eg. injured, untrained, incapable)?
Remember the Rescue Protocol: Preach, Throw, Reach, Go

Perform rescue if safe to do so.
Think of the best options ie. quick landing, swim in for instance.
It doesn't have to be from within kayak!
