Left brain hemisphere vs right, which is at work when you roll?

Being a keen student of rolling, bombproof half-eskimo, I wonder if there 
are any experimental data on the influence of your geographic position? 
Northern vs. Southern hemisphere, ;)?

As they choose Cap Kennedy for reasons of geography, might it not also be 
easier to roll by the Equator?

When upside down bow pointing North, which would be the easy side to go for 
air?

Having practiced in the Northern hemisphere, Lat 60 North,
I'll go South to check this out when my waters freeze.

Will report back.
