[Paddlewise] injured shoulder roll?

My current version of the 'injured shoulder' roll consists of putting
the paddle perpendicular to the boat over the hull, and doing a
C-C style hip-snap holding the paddle with the healthy arm's hand.
The other end of the paddle is at all times levering against the hull,
and deck at the end of the roll.

This roll depends a lot on the hip-snap, and the purchase of the
paddle blade without sweeping it on the water.

Alternatively, I grab the solid float from the aft deck, tuck to the
front --kiss the foredeck-- and roll up with only the arm holding
the paddlefloat.

Does anyone know of a more reliable technique?

cheers,

- Julio
