Back Deck Sweep Roll Indentifier.

Thanks for the comment

THANK YOU Speusa! this is the roll I've been looking for. I assume that it also works - say if you capsize, to flip youself back up. brilliant at explaining it too. 5*

Don't smash your face on a rock doing this. I prefer to put my face to the skirt when rolling.

These names are attempting to differentiate on different variations of the roll. Since the screw roll was first named years ago, it has been more exactly described. However the twist and slice roll is more like what the screw roll has been described.

Ive done that roll before but sometimes it still fails. Is it a neccesity to get your paddle out really far?

i dont need to do the stroke, but ive only practiced it in a pool is it a neccessity in a river?

it really depends on the rapid, just do what feels best for you

@kyaker123... as your technique improves you will likely find that your momentum is starting to carry you over the other side; the final stroke will prevent that.

No matter what roll you use it's a good idea to practice the transition from roll to aggressive paddling, and the final stroke is a good move toward that. When you roll up in a rapid you'll need to get back in control of your boat and re-oriented immediately, and that means moving into a paddling position as soon as you come up!

how does this siffer from the screw roll?

Not for the eskimo roll (Twist and slice roll) twist your bnody properly not your arms and make sure your head comes out of the water last but stay sitting upwards, and sit back in the seat of your kayak.
