** really bigggg grin ** Mike, thanks for the kind words. As I'm sure you know the other two "instructors", Dave Cook and Jeff Brent and I get all warm and fuzzy watching someone when all the hints and language finally click. When the roll, as you found it last night is so smooth with so much power left in reserve. Since we are all volunteers our satisfaction is in seeing the expression on a successfull rollers face as they realize they've made it into the somewhat select group with good form and a calm and deliberate approach and in knowing we've helped make one more paddler just a little bit safer. I wish I could take credit for your success but we both know you knew how to roll mentally and only needed to find the right timing and flow to find that sweet spot that makes it effortless. I wish you a long and happy carrer rolling to cool off, to recover, to check out the fishies or just for the sake of rolling. This is where the fun begins as a whole new world of possibilities presents itself to you. Celebrate your skill and share your knowledge. Paddle On!
