Kayaking

Rolling

I started learning to roll for safety reasons. I often paddle solo, and often in less than ideal conditions (see Kayak Journal), and wanted to maximise my chances of returning safely. I quickly learned that rolling is a fun way to spend an afternoon at the beach. I've since developed a pretty bomb-proof sweep roll, and pivot roll. My Greenland layback roll is coming along, and I've just added the butterfly roll to my list. Below is a video of five rolls in succession.

A few years back, I paddled from Big Grassy River near Morson to Sioux Narrows by kayak. Here is my journal of that trip.
