Peter: "The only person I've ever seen roll on the side in the sand and rotate the boat elegantly is Larry Gray. Watched others try but its not pretty!" Larry came down for the VSKC AGM last year, held at Phillip Island. Larry is a superb paddler. I was very impressed, nay totally gob smacked, with the way he lay his boat right over and turned rapidly in bouncy reflected wave conditions off Cape Woolamai. Ordinary paddlers were happy to gingerly stay upright. He just made it look easy, effortless, like the boat and the man were one integrated unit. Too bad he didn't wear a PFD.
