Re: [Paddlewise] PFD's/ROLLING & GREAT BOOKS

I just finished watching the 38 minute roll video 'GREENLANDER AT
KODIAK'and it was truly remarkable. Although I have seen it before
it is now so much more personal and valuable since I am enrolled
in rolling classes. The value of getting a mental image of
all aspects of a well done roll cannot be underestimated. The
fellow in the movie is reputed to be one of the best and
is well worth seeing. Thanks to Gary Rose for the lending it
to me.

Cheers,

Philip
