Thanks for the direct reply. As a sea kayaker, I dont expect to need a roll while up against a rock, cliff, boat, dock, etc. I realize that an offside roll may be important to a ww kayaker, but am not convinced for sea kayaking. Maybe it would make a difference in high winds . . . but you've got to assume that a weaker offside roll will work with the wind after your stronger onside roll has failed. Only story I am familiar with is the one in Sea Kayakers Deep Trouble where the offside roll failed in high winds right after the onside roll failed (you know, the guy who was out in SF bay in 50 knot winds . . .) --Karl Professor Karl S.
