>> I was just out today working on C & C rolls. I was wondering if most use this type of roll or a sweep roll of if you have a preference depending on conditions. What about hand rolling? Alice >> ************************************************************************** * The first roll I learned, in a class taught by whitewater kayakers, was the C-to-C, but I wasn't good at it then. When I switched to a Greenland paddle, I taught myself a sweep roll, which is similar to the standard roll used in Greenland. Now I can do a sweep roll, screw roll, Pawlata, C-to-C (or short Pawlata), and sculling roll. Of those, the sculling roll is probably easiest, and the sweep roll next easiest, and the one I always fall back on when I have to roll without thinking. The hand roll I have yet to learn. I think it is more important to learn to roll equally well on both sides than to have a large variety of rolls.
