In the midst of the long discussion on rolls we've had, there was a nice thread on the subject on rec.boats.paddle.touring. In the midst of the threat, a canoe tripper had a thought that I thought I'd throw out here for comment: "Then there's flatwater canoeing & canoe tripping. Very few if any of us can roll our canoes, yet we are in far less seaworthy craft than sea kayaks. If sea kayakers need a roll, are we canoeists totally unsafe?" -- Lloyd Bowles, "The Mad Canoeist" What does the group think? Is a roll for sea kayaking really, absolutely necessary, especially for those that don't go into conditions where they wouldn't go with an open canoe, anyway? -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Nov 28 1999 - 17:38:29 PST
