I had heard of the double Klepper being rolled and finally saw two guys doing so a few months ago. They both came out of whitewater paddling. Their first attempt bombed. But then, after emptying the boat, they did two rolls in a row flawlessly. But I agree with what you said about it being a party trick, i.e. most likely not a viable thing to do when not absolutely setup or ready for it. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
