Well if you are paddling solo and go over you have a few options: roll, re-entry and roll, paddlefloat entry; cowboy entry, swim, pray for someone to come by. I really do not know how someone could dismiss a roll as a real like self recovery technique. Perhaps this person has not read Chris Duff's Southern Exposure, his book on a solo navigation of New Zealand. He was knocked over a number of time in rough conditions and came up "smiling" each time. Had he not been able to roll in these conditions he could very well have been seriously injured or died. Keep learning to roll sid I've been reading too many forums and archives on the Net and have read several people dismissing the roll as a real life self recovery technique. I'm working on rolling - I can do it now just need to get reliable with it. So real life - packed for a day trip or a weekend - did you ever fall over, roll up and keep going?
