Re: [Paddlewise] Analyzing a Failed Roll

My favorite Greenland Roll is #26-1/2 (known as "ohfuqwhthvidn" - accent on
the second syllable). This is the one where you capsize unexpectedly, say
"oh sh*t" and attempt to breathe underwater. The last part is a general
flailing about with the hands and the roll ends with Dubside extending the
"hand of god" while averting his eyes.

It always gets the crowd going. I think they like all the bubbles.
