G'Day, Does this mean that it doesn't matter which side you brace when you roll in a wave? My off side roll is so weak that it probably wouldn't work even if there is a wave to help. Up to now if I find my self with my off side roll facing into the wave (away from the shore) I usually wait until it has passed and then roll up with my on side roll - I haven't been successful so far using an on side roll when it is facing towards the shore while I'm still in the wave.
