G'Day,

I'ld like to advocate the Pawlatta roll a little more strongly for sea
kayaking. As a rolling novice its my one truly bombproof roll that works
every time in a variety of weather conditions, surf and states of
exhaustion! My standard practise while learning other rolls, braces or
surfing methods is to try the new technique and if it fails then use the
Pawlatta to return to the surface. Its reliability makes a useful standby
for learning new techniques without the inconvenience of exiting the
cockpit. I'm guessing it would not be very good for whitewater but find it
extremely useful in seakayaking.

All the best, PeterO
