Since I am a seakayaker first and always, I withheld my own claim to a hand roll untill I could roll my boat, a NDK Explorer, loaded for day trips. But even that happened the next day. << 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. >> Exactly right! This proper body position, applied to a screw roll, yields a very powerful and reliable roll. Again, I should have been more clear that these were WW boats. Sorry for the confusion.
