This is a response to Tomckayak about rolling a sea kayak with half a paddle. Tom when we practice rolls by using the paddle that is attached to our deck we never put the paddle together while upside down. That would take the fun and challenge out of rolling. We just grab one of the two paddle sections and roll with it. It is a great way to test yourself if you think you have a bombproof roll.

I need a full paddle to execute an extended paddle Pivot roll which is my never fail "real world" works 99% of the time roll. What's the sound of one paddle clapping? Tom Cromwell Edmonds, WA.
