I am relieved to receive this simple explanation. For a brief moment I
thought this might be something similar to what I did the other day. Started
off trying a roll off the back deck, a reverse screw type thing. Swept
around, lost the diving blade, got near the surface, lifted the head, went
under again, desperately set up a roll of last resort, and finally came up
gasping and waterlogged... like a drowned rat. Hence the tentative name, the
Ratsaq Roll.
The winter days here are short, and not at all conducive to practising rolls
in cold water. I'd rather do the Snorsaq Roll.
PT.
