One thing that I have had success with is flipping the boat while they
are standing beside it, demonstrating a somersault into the cockpit as
if doing a reentry and roll, then doing the arm stuff and coming backup
again.  Seemed to have good success even with the additional
encumberence of a spraydeck after they had done it a couple of times.
