on do when youre playboating. This is a terrible idea for creeking. Ive lost some skin off my knose using this playboating so be careful and get other boaters to teach you to backdeck. not this video.

sure these vids are crappy instruction that i agree with...but this roll is called lots of things....when i learned it my instructor told me it was a back deck roll....thats because your body is over your back deck....DUH..i on the other hand still call it a rodeo roll....it has different names......stop being a bitch and trying to be right all the time....

there's not a creek in the east coast, as far as I know, where I'd wanna do this.

Too true... infact, i have found all of the expert village instructors etc. to be absolutely useless. They are all crap!

Its not a back deck roll either. Thats completly different roll altogether. Im not being anal. Im saying it as it is.
Its called a rodeo roll everywhere!!! Not just California.
I just dont like this expert village crowd doing bad instructional vids.
Some of their "helpful" videos are less than helpful as the "instructors" cant even demonstrate properly what they said 10 secs before.

Same thing, different terminology dude. He did say it is also called a 'back deck roll'. Which is also called a 'rodeo roll' in California..
Don't be so anal.

Thats not a high brace roll! Its a rodeo roll. Used in freestyle paddling....
Terrible video and terrible instruction...
