i have just learned how to roll, and iam only 13 :)

dudicito - 12 years ago

just wondering, is this possible to do without a sprayskirt?

wow i can do a roll with a paddle but not with my hands... maybe because i don't get enough water resistance or stuff but i'm already leaning back with my head coming out last. no idea why i ain't able to come up

is the first one C to C or sweep? i was taught the sweep roll, but ppl tell me mine looks more like a C to C, i think im bracing against the water combined with a hip snap

This video is great. I rolled my kayak for the first time today. I did it once, but couldn't do it again. I guess I need to figure out a method and stick to it. I was leaning forward with my nose on the skirt, but the majority of these guys were leaning back. I'll have to try that to see if it makes a difference. dagger approach 9.0

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

In the river, a high brace is not a waste.Minimising time with head down exposed to river bed is kind of interesting to us. But, learning and using are two different thiings.

The angle (from setup on top of the water with the paddle to your side) is the front blade, side towards you should be just over the water with the outside edge of that blade in the water. give it a go and see how much it helps.

Just remember to feather (angle) the paddle so that when you sweep the paddle out and away from the kayak the paddle stays on top of the water.

Thx man this helps out ALOT and the high def is just an amazing teaching tool thanks again!

I always say high braces are a waste of energy and much harder than rolls. I always skip high braces when teaching these things. High braces are also more prone to cause injuries. I'd rather get a little wetter doing a roll than busting a shoulder trying to keep my head out of the water :) But then again I only deal with sea kayakers so rolls aren't as potentially dangerous as for white water paddlers.

Your right to get your braces right first A roll is just a high brace gone wrong

What's the difference between c to c and sweep? *looks baffled* That guy musta been dizzy at the end of that... But, it looks so much fun! I get to have a go tomorrow again, yay!

for all u guys tring to learn to roll. the first thing u gotta do is get comfortable under the water. i know that sounds tough for some people. but i know that i can stay under the water for 2mins and 12 seconds and still have enough time to pull off a hand roll. its all practise and building ur confidance! trust me, get a buddy and just sit under the water all day rescuing each other. it'll pay off, once ur comfortable under the water u wont panic and forget your movements or pop ur deck.

sweep is faster, but it can put you in a position to injure your shoulder, the c2c needs a windup and you use your hips more to right the boat and it is slower. honestly i use them both when i paddle.

Thanks for the post!
