I've been reading the paddle float vs. roll discussion with great interest.
Mainly because I'm at the point I want to learn how to roll. But as I sat
here reading these posts I started to think about my "other" kayak - A Necky
Gannet I bought for the kids. This is a very wide recreational kayak with a
cockpit so big and a beam so wide I doubt very seriously I would ever be
able to roll it.

A couple of inferences to the klepper being a beast to roll has me thinking:

In the roll vs paddle float debate, shouldn't the "type" of kayak also be a
(prime) consideration? Or is the width (or any other dimension) not a factor
is rolling?

Thanks in advance,

Woody
