The few general books on sea kayaking I have read do not describe rolling well enough to teach yourself. Paul Dutky's "Paddling on the Edge: the Bombproof Roll and Beyond", available through Amazon.com for $14.95 USD and elsewhere gives very detailed and helpful analysis. You can flog yourself into a waterlogged half-drowned ruin trying to teach yourself to roll. A good teacher and an hour or two in a pool are well worthwhile. On the internet, look at: http://www.nswseakayaker.asn.au/articles/roll.htm, and http://www.bristol.digitalcity.org/org/sports/canoe/kayakrol/rolling.htm Regards, Peter Treby 37º 42' S 145º 08' E *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
