[Paddlewise] C to C vs Sweep Roll

Sea Kayak Rollers,

I have been surprised about sea kayakers referring to C to C rolls so much in 
posts on this list, because I find the sweep roll much more effective in a 
sea kayak, especially one loaded or swamped, and most especially for the 
re-enter and roll.  I thought the C to C was used mostly by white water 
paddlers.  I practice to maintain C to C rolls on both sides, but when it 
comes to combat, it is always a sweep roll on either side for me.  The sweep 
roll just seems smoother and more powerful.

I would like to read input from other sea kayakers about what kind of rolls 
they depend on for combat.
