Thanks for posting. This video has been very helpful the last year learning and teaching others. You look like a normal version of Dubside. :) appreciate the footage.

The purpose of a kayak roll is to right yourself when you are in a dire situation. Learning to kayak roll that involves leaning on the back deck does two things, 1. Creates bad habits and 2. Leaves your vital parts like your face and chest exposed when you lay on on your back deck.

I agree this video is a great way of getting people to visualize the roll but practicing this roll particularly by yourself will hard. If you can do it, good for you but to be safe, get an instructor to teach you

Hi Roy! I am just getting into Sea Kayaking and was wondering what your Tuilik is made of? I live in the Northwest and will be making my own and wondered what the best material is for up here in cold water conditions.
