I haven't taken a course from Ray and Margaret Killen but I've paddled with 
them informally and Ray did teach me a couple of different rolls.  In case 
it isn't obvious in the registration package, they're likely going to be 
teaching the course using a traditional greenland paddle.  I've seen both 
of them handroll, and roll with a throwing stick, so they probably *could* 
teach hand rolls, but the makeup of the rest of the class would probably 
dictate whether or not they're actually taught.  They might also teach a 
balance brace.
