Hi Rick, It's funny that you are building an Outer Island. Great boat!! I plan to build one myself someday maybe. :> Jay's tape "First Roll" is what taught me my first roll. A friend and awesome paddler had spent a few sessions with me teaching me the basics but it was only when I watched Jay's tape that I was able to put it all together and succeed at my first roll. He teaches it backwards and really makes a lot of sense. His technique also helps develop an awesome skull. As for your Carolina, it may not be the easiest rolling boat but my Perception Eclipse rolled well and is what I learned to roll in. You'll get it. Where are you paddling and are you paddling with other rollers?
