    I know of two brand new paddlers - never been in a kayak or on a river before - who last summer hit multiple combat rolls on their first outing after being coached in this technique. I also have a friend who had the most messed up failed roll ever. I taught him how to practice this and he went home and practiced it on his deck. Using nothing other than this technique, he fixed his roll completely on his own. He now has a reliable roll, where before he was about to give up on kayaking.

      For whatever reason I psyche myself out on my offside roll. I want to take my brain out of the equation. This looks like it will help. Mimic my exact movements on either side of the boat.

    Thanks. After having watched several how to roll-videos, I finally understood how it should be done. It´s hard to perceive your own body upside down, so this was really a help.

    This is the technique that made the difference in getting my roll. I had been diving my paddle and practicing that exact movement he talks about in the beginning of the video. I just didn't understand what was going wrong; my paddle didn't stay on top of the water! Well I saw this, went out to the backyard and did it a few dozen times. Viola, went to the river and nailed my roll.

    My partner "had" been working on her roll for a while before we gave this technique a shot. The second night at the lake after trying this... success!!!! She said what this did for her, a bit of an epiphany moment, was that it pieced together what a total body movement a roll is. It showed just how active the lower body is and basically what a hip snap feels like. The smile on her face was EPIC! Thanks for the tips and great video, I highly recommend this exercise to anyone who keeps being told "snap your hips!!!" and has no idea what the other person means.

    I have used this technique to teach all the beginners i have coached, and it is by far the best way to teach the roll. Have them drill this for 10 minutes, then 10 minutes of high-bracing with their paddle on your shoulder, and they will roll first time. 20 minutes for a solid roll.

    So many people are going to do that bad dry land technique in the beginning of the video, and that is a hard very habit to break once it's ingrained. So, while this demonstration may not be perfect, I know this technique has value to some paddlers. It really does help to ingrain the body memory of what to do once you're upside down in the water.

    one thing I would add is rolling the right wrist forward to make the blade climb out of the water during the sweep. You have decomposed the problem nicely.

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment. You are absolutely right. There is definitely more to this. I mainly wanted to bust the the harmful way of practicing the motion... and pulling the paddle down rather than sweeping. That is the main problem I see when someone is struggling with the roll. You might roll up if your blade angle is off a little, but it's very unlikely you'll roll up if you're pulling the paddle toward the bottom of the river! ;-)

    Been having trouble linking up my sweep & hip snap timing, hoping this will help. Thanks for posting!

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Emily Hooker Hi Emily. An important element of the so-called hip snap is actually bringing the boat under you with your knee at the same time as you begin your sweep. If you sweep with your right hand forward on the paddle, then you want to drive the right knee under the boat and towards your right side. So, it’s a combo of hip snap and driving that knee that brings the boat back under you. Good luck, and have fun!!

    • @beingaware8542
      @beingaware8542 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Emily get a foam block or float bag. Get in the kayak and lie on the back deck shoulders flat arm extended out on the water holding the bouyant aid. Slide your back out on to the water surface head looking straight up. The kayak will tilt sideways. Put you other arm straight out above your head/ear also in the water- this quarantees your torso is flat on the water. Then slowly slide back onto the back deck. The kayak will flip back. This will give you the feeling of how the roll finishes. The paddle blade replaces foam block.

    @ronniemurphy2124 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Very good instructions, perfect body mechanics, but the paddle should be slightly angled to rise to the surface. Without this angle of the paddle blade it could cause the paddle to dive deeper and hinder the roll. If the paddle is kept near the surface at all times, the amount of effort is minimized. This is corrected by either cocking the risk inward when beginning the row uncocking as the row progresses or by starting with a slight twist to the blade by rotating the grip counterclockwise in the right hand for a right hand roller or slightly clockwise in the left hand for the left side roller. I hope this helps someone having trouble reaching the complete rise to the surface. Also remember to keep your head down, until the last thing. If you are still having trouble with the head, try keeping in mind to keep your head and right knee together as you are rolling. Visa versa for the left side, head to left knee.

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Ronnie Murphy I agree with all you said. My point, and my observation of many who struggle with their roll, is that things go immediately wrong because they don't sweep away from the boat and across the surface of the water. So many of us dive the paddle not so much because of the wrong paddle angle, but because they are actually pulling the paddle down rather than sweeping across the surface. So the point I'm making is to ingrain the muscle memory of sweeping out and away from the boat, and across the surface. If you get that part right, there's a MUCH better chance you will be successful. Thanks for your comment!

    • @ronniemurphy2124
      @ronniemurphy2124 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      planetmango Yes, your instructions are excellent and in excellent form. I just wanted to add these thing just in case someone is still struggling. Not all people have the problem of the blade angle and if they follow your instruction, they should get the rest down easy. I for one had the blade problem, that is why I'm making suggestions. It is by no mean to say you did not include enough. It was the best I've seen at out of the water instruction and it was very clear to understand. Keep up the good work. I know you're helping at lot of people. Thank you. You are well appreciated.

Being upside down under water can be confusing and very counter-intuitive for many people. I've been paddling for almost 25 years, but I was one who struggled with this a lot in the beginning. It seems I still need to give myself a tuneup with this technique a couple of times a year. Thanks again.

      No!! That's not the point of this exercise. The point is to get your paddle motion STARTED in the right direction, rather than pulling down. That's it. Also very important once on the water is to use your opposite knee to bring the boat under you. That gets called the "hip snap", but it's really the knee pulling the boat under you. That part is not possible on land, but you should be able to feel the pressure on that knee wanting to bring the boat under. On the water, bring the knee under at the same time as the paddle sweep. That's very important. Good luck.

      It’s more pulling the knee and thigh that pulls the boat under you. The term “hip snap” is a bit of a misnomer. When you flip over, one of your hands will be at the forward end of the paddle. Let’s say that’s your right hand. In that setup, it’s your right knee and thigh that will bring the boat under you. Please… do this exercise, and you will definitely feel the pressure on that knee. Don’t just watch the video and try to figure it out. Actually do it and you will get it. Good luck

      @@richshipley thank you so much for clarifying this for me, I've been kinda struggling with the roll but I'm definitely going to try this video!

  • @sandradavid6141
    @sandradavid6141 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I intend to practice this, since it's the start and sweep that create my roll problems. I have to respectfully disagree with the comment that this focus is on the paddle; I find that the focus is actually torso rotation, aided by how the paddler's upper torso is actually moving. Which then has to be transferred to the knees. As noted, this can't be done on the ground and is beyond the scope of this video.

    Should the hip snap start when you are 90 degrees to the boat?

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Stefan Carey With the sweep roll, the boat should start rotating under you immediately when you start the sweep with your paddle. Your opposite side knee should be engaged and starting to rotate the boat under you right from the beginning. The so-called "hip snap" should FINISH around the time your paddle is at 90º to the boat, but that finish can feel like you snapped the boat under you at the end. Try it in your back yard a bunch of times to get the feel, then head for some water to practice. Hope that helps.

    So should/does the blade side that's doing the slicing feel any resistance?

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ideally, very little. The idea is to have that front blade well above the water surface (keep the back arm tucked in) . That reaching up jump starts the boat moving in the direction that will roll it under you. So, reach high then sweep the paddle.

    • @borisachenbach3328
      @borisachenbach3328 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      So there is a slight climbing angle on your power blade as you sweep out followed by a catch phase? Just trying to get my head around it all, as the c to c has a kind of downward catch phase.

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Correct. Your hands need to twist the paddle shaft maybe 1/4 turn so the blade is either flat or slightly climbing. Think of your wrist(s) being bent in an L shape.

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Boris Achenbach I highly suggest doing some practice sessions like this on the ground. That will be a great help in getting the physical feel for the movement that starts the roll. But DO NOT try to actually roll the boat over on the ground. That can’t be done without pushing down on the paddle, and that’s the exact wrong thing to do.

      Bonbon baron, I don’t see how it would be a problem. Same basic moves, but you might ant to get sea kayak specific instructions. Paying for lessons will only enhance your enjoyment of the sport for many years to come.

    Hey ! Great video man but when you say "just with hand and torso the boat begin to roll", I think it's maybe because you push on the ground at the same time with your shoulder. But when you are in a river, water will be not hardest as the grass.
    But whatever I've the same technic and it's good so....
    Bye. And sorry if I made any mistake. I'm just french so I don't speak very well :)

  • @cheskybaba4864
    @cheskybaba4864 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Planetmango, it seems the paddle is just slicing through the water - shouldn't the blade be rotated to a more resistant position - like 90 degrees?

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      the blade is supposed to slice/skim across the surface of the water, basically with no resistance from the blade, blade nearly level with the surface of the water. the main thing I'm trying to get people to understand is that the common motion that we've all seen and done while upright will pull the paddle to the bottom of the river. The paddle and blade need to skim out and away from the boat and across the surface. if you do that and have your knee engaged, you can rotate the boat back under you and paddle away.

    • @cheskybaba4864
      @cheskybaba4864 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @KeelerBrunet
      @KeelerBrunet 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      So what you are saying is that the paddle doesn't really play a massive part in bringing you upright??

    • @richshipley
      @richshipley  10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Keeler Brunet Of course the paddle plays a part, but in this type of roll, the paddle is sort of like a sweeping brace. Your torso, hips and legs are what primarily roll the boat under you while you do the sweeping motion with the paddle.

    The motion is good but it won't have the ground as a pivot point so none of what you said works.
    Also you are likely to be central upside down. As you wont be laying on the ground. So you need to move back and side almost the opposite of what you showed.
