Kayak Skill - Easiest Eskimo Roll to Learn
Loading...
Uploaded by kayaklakemead on Aug 4, 2008
Eskimo Roll Made Easy: (1) You are going to use the paddle to make a fixed point in the water, (2) now that the paddle is a fixed point, you are going to hold on to that fixed point and lift your knee (this brings the boat up), and (3) simultaneously with lifting the knee - lower your head to your knee (or in other words, lower your head to your forward deck).

@kayaklakemead OK - I believe you......just checking :D

once you have learned the technique and built some muscle memory it is relatively easy to do. This extended sweep with raise the Queen Mary. It is a great roll to fall back on if your first or second attempts fail.

Surely he pushed off the bottom ???

@nick510510 Admittedly that's not the best video. But no, I'm not pushing off the bottom. Notice the shoreline behind me, it's a cliff. It's at least a 100, maybe more, feet deep right there. That's a variation of the Pawlatta Roll which is a very solid roll.
