Care to enlarge on what that issue was?
I blew a roll in surf last weekend and wet exited, very annoying. While I
haven't missed a roll on flat water practice for a while, I realise that all
the flat water practice in the world doesn't help prepare for
knocked-over-breathless-roll-up-knocked-down-again-totally-out-of-air-violen
t-surf conditions. So ideally you need to practice rolling in the most
boisterous conditions available.
