I'd advise against using visual cues -- it's often quite difficult to
see what the other person is doing.  For whitewater C-2 rolls, we use
two taps of the paddle against the hull -- so that you can hear *and* feel
it, even in pretty turbulent water.  The taps correspond to "1" and "2"
with the roll starting on "3".

And while it might be obvious, it's a good idea to try to roll on the
same side. ;-)
