 Just learned to roll.  I was taught the C to C. snip

Congratulations, Jim!  I am from that group of paddlers that feel that a
roll is a crucial tool to possess.  I still remember how excited I was when
I nailed my first few!  Since then, I have come to believe that a good roll
does not belong to us, but is something the Gods lend to us when they feel
so inclined.  When the Gods change their minds about granting us a roll,
they can, and DO, quickly take it away again.  I have played "lost and
found" with my roll since I first learned it, about a year and a half ago.
It is my contention that any paddler who tells you they have never "lost"
their roll is full of it.  IMHO, your best chance of keeping your rolls lies
in using it..a lot
