I'm one of these strange people who enjoy rolling. I practice almost every wednesday night in a pool using my white water boat. I also practice in my sea kayak when I go on my longer recreational paddles -- say once every couple weeks. In fact, the only times I don't roll when I paddle is on my several times per week work-out paddles (where I dress lightly to disapate sweat). This means I roll many hundreds of times per season. However, a more interesting question -- and the question I suspect you meant to ask -- is how many times per season I roll due to an unintentional capsize. Not counting surfing and white water, I seem to flip accidentally in my sea kayak a couple times per year. The most common cause of my flips is hitting a submerged log when paddling at night (something I do a lot). --Tim *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Dec 18 1998 - 10:05:20 PST
