Watch any WW paddling video.  If they can roll up every time, why 
can't we?  A loaded kayak is only a little harder to roll - it starts 
slower and ends easier.

In all my years of kayaking, I've never gone over without wanting to 
or without practicing something where I was likely to upset.  In 
touring, I've never needed to roll.  

Remember - it's easier to roll than to learn a really good forward 
stroke.
