When you say wooden paddles do you mean wooden European style paddles or 
Greenland style paddles?  My limited (very limited experience) has been 
that a GP works similar to an airplane wing in that it creates lift thus 
aiding in the roll.   I've also thought that wooden EP's are easier to roll 
with.  My rolling skills are not very advanced and I'd be interested in 
knowing if more experienced paddlers have any opinions on this.
