[Paddlewise] Rolling in surf

G'Day,

Feeling particularly pleased that for the first time in four years I managed
to roll instinctively two weeks in a row. Normally I have to think evry step
of a roll all the way through. This week it was in the surf and without
thinking I went straight into a screw roll when tumbled - normally I use a
Pawlatta for preference and have only recently been practising a screw roll.
Perhaps there still is muscle memory after  55:~)

Anyway my question is this: - if one was setting up an on side roll and
tipped into the water with the on side nearest the beach does this make it
easier to roll in the surf? i.e is this a position in which the rotational
motion of the wave will help one roll up.

All the best, PeterO
