G'day,

I guess slow rolling on flat water will help develop good technique. OTOH I
like to be able to roll fast and strong as well because the times I usually
roll for real are in the surf when I want to get up quickly to avoid the
next wave.

Having said that I use an elementary Pawlatta roll which the instructor
refers to as 100% reliable as he shakes his head and weeps. I'm resolved to
make my sweep roll 100% reliable this summer. Almost there:~)

All the best, PeterO
