I'm going to have to print it out and go down the list, trying each of the rolls to see how many I can do. BTW, did you try the "paddle flip roll" in Ray's class? He did it a few times and Gabriel and I paddled with him last summer. I couldn't remember the set up position (it's not real obvious) but once I did it was fairly easy to do and looks really cool when seen from above. I have one quibble about the Butterfly/back hand roll description in your table though. The two "types" you have available are "brace" and "sweep" and the butterfly roll doesn't really fit into either. It's much easier to do if you try *not* to brace with the paddle, but just hold onto it loosely. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
