>Hi All,

I was wondering whether anyone had any experience using something like a 
Backup by RollAid (pre-inflated by mouth) or a pre-inflated paddle float as 
a back-up to a failed roll when doing roll practice.  I haven't had much 
luck finding spotters and, for a newbie who still blows it as often as not, 
it gets tiresome to have to bail, reenter, pump etc. when practicing.

Thanks in advance,

John

in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the 
additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true."
