[jones121111]

I counted 16 proper attempts...pretty heroic.

of course it's ALL to do with hips mate, thats why u don't need a paddle to body or hand roll!

@TheLazyKayaker I've been paddling for 12 years. I think I know what I'm on about. If the guy could roll he would have rolled. Period! Get over it!

[TheLazyKayaker]

@wetbivybag have u ever been to hurly no chance of being pinned and by your previous comment it sounds like you have next to no paddling experience

[wetbivybag]

@TheLazyKayaker erm....I'm guessing after 21 attempts I'm going to hazard a guess at "he can't" He's lifting his head out of the water each time too soon. 

[TheLazyKayaker]

people stop giving kayaking tips when you know fuck all

[TheLazyKayaker]

@ProffaSam this is kayaking you retard

[TheLazyKayaker]

@wetbivybag trust me i think he knows how to roll now look at some of is vids

[wetbivybag]

If you can get a breath, you're never going to get up because you're lifting your head. You life your head out of the water on every attempt. A head is so heavy it will tip you right back over. I'm guessing the water was really cold. It's dangerous to stay out of control in the flow. You could have got pinned whilst upside down. Just relax and make sure you're the right way up before you lift your head. And work on your hip flick.

keep the head down

Man learn to roll before rafting! What if he falls on a rapid and drowns?

[tremayne6489]
