  • Yours is a gentle dance ..... make me want to emulate that ....!!! fantastic

  • Bring out the Gimp.

  • Really nicely filmed and demonstrated and explained. The only issue I have with this is that most touring kayaks don't allow anywhere near that degree of lie-back, which changes the mechanics of the roll quite a bit. The 'average' boat is much wider, the back of the cockpit is closer and higher, and the deck itself is higher. You can balance brace, but then there's a wide, high obstacle to finishing the roll smoothly since there's just no way to rotate cleanly onto the back deck.

  • Excellent instruction. Best I have heard so far.

  • Not many people can 'L' their body the way 'old Floppy Head' can. She has great lateral flexibility.

  • If, as Helen comments, you are using your shoulders and arms to muscle a roll, then you are doing it wrong no matter WHAT kind of paddle you may be using, stick or Euro. Or no paddle at all! ;-)
