[Paddlewise] Mysterious Surfing Roll

The last few times I capsized in surf I managed to roll up without rolling.
I didn't set up, didn't sweep, didn't hip snap.  Yet I rolled up comfortably
broached on the wave in a high brace.  I think that I just sort of stick my
paddle out and up I come.

I am afraid that if someone tells me what the heck I do, I won't be able to
do it anymore.  But it would be nice to do it deliberately.

Jerry
