>gets boring, it is so easy. G'Day Joan and Paddlewise, Like Joan, I'm
also trying to upgrade rolling skills - can only rely on a Pawlata at the
moment. Occasionally manage a succesful screw roll. The problem is a poor
hip flick and no swimming pool so I've started using a paddlefloat at a
local beach and practice hip flicks hanging off the paddlefloat and
trying to minimise the pressure of hanging onto the paddle. I've also
started reentries and rolls using the back somersault under the boat.
Find this much easier than lying sideways with the boat, which some of my
friends use, but constantly bang my baldish head on the front deck.
Scarred head now makes me resemble a football hooligan! Any suggestions
for avoiding this, or else a source of skull caps? Fortunately the deck
has suffered no serious damage :~) All the best, PeterO
