One thing useful about an offside roll is that your setup will become automatic as you start to capsize on either side. It seems to make sense to continue the roll in the direction of the capsize (you have momentum in the right direction and your paddle is already in the right place, etc). In his book, "The Bombproof Roll and Beyond," Paul Dutky suggests that if you miss the first roll, try to roll up next on the other side. Your paddle is already setup for a roll on the other side and you will now be going the "right" direction in the current, wind, etc. (that may have caused you to miss the first roll). I'm not sure my explanation came out right, but it sounds like it makes a lot of sense in his book!
