I too am learning my rolls. I started with a C to C, then Pawlatta and latest a Screw Roll. I'm still learning so I don't consider them to be bombproof in the "real" world right yet. A couple of points that I've noticed is that by trying different rolls it might help find a particular one that is more comfortable. For me the Screw roll seems easier on my body than the C to C roll. And if I blow a roll then I can extend my paddle and do a "half" Pawlatta for more paddle support. That seems to work pretty well. The best part about learning an offside roll is that if you blow your onside you're all ready set up for the offside roll (or vice versa). Having to reset your paddle after a blown roll means you're upside down that much longer. *************************************************************************** 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 Fri Feb 18 2000 - 06:39:56 PST
