Hi, I am just curious. What boats did you use? Seakayaks or WW boats? What I understand is that learning rolling without a paddle will focus you on learning the proper "body" technique. But learning to handroll a seakayak in a single session without previous experience sounds really remarkable. The guy who showed me the sweep roll got me rolling within ~40 minutes, in a whitewater boat in the pool (<50% blow rate). After switching to my seakayak I basically started with a 80 % blow rate. Now I am working on getting back up without going down already in setup position. works with my Greenlander, but with the Eurostyle paddle I frequently miss the right blade angle and I am unable to correct that underwater (I let go the Euro stick and grab the Greenlander from the front deck to roll up -or bail out). Anyway congratulations.. Cheers Ulli Dr. Ulli Hoeger Dept.
