Where the C-to-C is a 3-step maneuver (Set up. Sweep out. Snap.), the sweep is more of a single motion (SweepRotateSnap). You don't gotta lean back to make it work if you rotate some. Try to get ahold of Kent Ford's DVD "The Kayak Roll." Great teaching progression and that roll really works. -- Steve Cramer Athens, GA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
