It's easiest on my shoulders 2. It protects my face while I'm upside-down 3. It does not require shifting my grip on the paddle 4. It leaves me in a position where I'm ready to take the next paddle stroke *or* set up to roll again if I blow it. I *strongly* recommend the C-to-C roll for whitewater paddling. My hand roll (which I still can't do reliably on the left, darn it!) is a C-to-C but I end up a little bit further stretched out toward the back deck; one of the things that I'm working on is decreasing that. ---Rsk Rich Kulawiec rsk_at_gsp.org *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Feb 23 1998 - 05:48:26 PST
