If I don't, then when I get dunked, I end up leaving out a piece of the puzzle, my knees aren't locked in, I forget to "snap", I forget to lean back, or forget to setup the paddle before giving it a go. I can understand this. A couple of times now, returning to a surf beach after a day trip, the surf has risen to (for me) challenging heights. I have sat outside the surf zone and done a roll, so as to be ready if the bracing/broaching fails. A quick roll gets you in "combat" mode, and gets your body remembering what it knows. Rolling on, PT.
