I have no experience with a roll-aid, but you could practice the same action as described for using the roll-aid, with an inflated paddlefloat, if one is available. This is very straightforward, much easier than rolling, and might give you an idea if the roll-aid is worthwhile. The roll-aid website suggests practising with an air inflated roll-aid, to save on the cost of CO2 canisters. Be very interested to hear of experiences with the roll-aid. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
