Really well done set of instructions.
When I was learning. After some work I had a pretty reliable roll. A friend who was a much better paddler than I, offered to take me on a trip down a river that was more challenging than I was accustomed to. He required 10 rolls consecutively, 30 second rest then 10 more , without a miss. If I could do that I could go. Took me some months to learn to be efficient enough. Along the way I thought I’ll never be able to do this. Eventually I got it and really opened my paddling confidence.

This video really helped me break the roll down and figure out what I was doing wrong…and bam…I got that roll down. Many thanks you’re a gifted teacher!

Awesome! I’ve been whitewater kayaking since 2018 and grew up on a knee board every weekend. I’m just now becoming curious about ditching half the paddle. It’s great to see a well done video randomly pop up on TH-cam that solves some mysteries, and leaves me feeling like I could definitely learn at least a pool roll pretty quickly. Actually seems simpler than rolling a kayak in some aspects, yet finishes the same as a back deck roll in a kayak. The higher CG is what would really make it feel odd by comparison I think. I need to try this out…

Had the best progress today, based on this video. Really helped me set up and realize I had to practice getting in that position. 👍👍👍 I need to do a lot of conditioning tho

Thanks for the great dissection of the roll. This give me a renewed vigor to attack and add this skill to my toolbox.

Haaaa Haaaa! Were you reading a magazine at 8:50? That's awesome. Really great, thorough description! I'd like to have a roll. Would give me confidence to tackle bigger stuff. Thanks for doing this!
