G'Day Mike, The Pawlatta has always worked for me, but a friend observed recently that while I was swinging the paddle perpendicular to the boat it was mostly above the water not in it. I think one of the reasons my 'screw roll', or more accurately 'non extended paddle roll', seemed easier was that with the proximal blade above the hull the distal blade was made to be in contact with the water throughout the roll, giving a bit more support. Anyway it was a pleasant surprise!
