I'd just like to clarify this for myself.  I take it that you're not
finishing with a layback, but rather switching directions in the
paddle sweep towards the end of the roll so that you sweep forward
and end in an upright (sitting) position?


G'Day,

That sounds about right.

My recollection was that when finishing the roll succesfully I was slightly
leaning back, maybe 30 degrees from vertical (not really sure) looking down
at the water and then I sat upright with a small low brace, forward sweep. I
don't have a good recollection of what was happening when the roll was
unsuccessful.

All the best, PeterO
