Ralph, et al:

Do you know if the sponsons were fully inflated?  I'm wondering if it would be better (for learning or demonstration purposes) NOT to have them fully inflated.  Is there a risk that the skin will slip out of the coming?

I am still learning, but have managed a few brace rolls with an extended Greenland paddle.  Seems like it would be easier without inflating the sponsons.  (And that's not intended to downplay Dubside's remarkable accomplishments, but maybe to boost my fledgling aspirations.)
