I use a partial C to C / sweep roll in my Dagger rpm MAX, Animas or 
Perception Pirouette.  I can roll slowly, or fast depending on need.  
Paddle in the ready position on recovery.

In my touring kayak, Dagger Cortez, I can use the same roll to get up 
right.  The roll is just much slower. The Cortez is narrower than the WW 
kayaks.   I prefer to use an extended paddle (sweep) roll.  Moving my 
hand to the end of the paddle in the roll.  The roll is easy and I get 
up all of the time. 

Extended paddle rolls are frowned upon in ww Kayaking.

Safe Paddling
