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 >> These are called *barrel rolls* or if done continuously *windowshading*. They are quite automatic as your paddle and body position is all *set* for the recovery. They are a blast to practice in the surf, providing the water is *deep* enough. It happens unintentionally in a river hole if you flip in the correct position.
