Paddlers, I am trying to read as much as I can on different types of rolls in advance of getting a lesson in the Spring. I am intrigued by one I read about, called, the Pawletta roll. I am looking for illustrations of this roll, feedback on it, etc. It looks easier to learn than the standard sweep roll, which I tried many years ago in a whitewater kayak and was not able to do. thanks, Marsanne *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

In particular: http://www.redbraes.co.uk/roll/rolling4.htm#teachingrolls The Pawlata is a roll that is useful as an introduction to rolling, but not one that you want to rely on. With a Euro paddle, the set up is more than its worth. A Greenland style paddle, once you're used to sliding stokes and stuff, is more readily amenable to the Pawlata or the Standard Greenland Roll, which is very similar. Once you've learned the Pawlata, you'll want to move to the Short Pawlata and then to the screw roll. The latter doesn't require any hand position changes in the set up. The Pawlata gets you started and allows you to develop the basic techniques. Once there, move on. Good luck!

> The Pawlata is a roll that is useful as an introduction to rolling, but not > one that you want to rely on. While what you say about the Pawlata is mostly true, I would like to add that I occasionally use it in the surf after I have been brutally hammered by a large wave and I am out of air and need to come up now! While my screw roll is a pretty sure thing, with the Pawlata you get so much leverage that even a really sloppy (and desperate) roll will bring you up. I also generally resort to the Pawlata when I'm rolling big wide sit-on-tops, and doubles. Again, for the extra leverage it provides.

Thank you all very much. Marsanne (In Baton Rouge, who went in the Mississippi River with Larry Koenig yesterday..thus, the need to be able to roll! It's like a big lake with a current, and it's like a magnet for me....) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

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 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Marsanne, Check out Derek Hutchinson's book on rolling. He goes into a lot of detail on how to learn the Pawletta.
