Another fun pool game is to toss your paddle somewhere in the pool, capsize and "swim" over while still wearing your boat and then roll up. Or for those who can't yet roll, wet-exit. Shows that you can still get some air while in the boat and inverted and that you are in control of what happens when you are under water. It also looks funny. For the more experienced it is a good exercise in rolling with a paddle in less than optimal conditions, i.e. upsidedown or backwards. -Patrick PS I've been working on the vertical storm roll and I have to say that it is about the coolest and easiest roll I have tried. Also seems like a great roll for surf or anywhere else where the border between water and air is a little less distinct. Haven't tried it in conditions yet but am curious how well it holds up.
