RE: [Paddlewise] Rolling a double

The first part of this video shows Duane Strosaker and Bob McMurray rolling
and static bracing in Duane's double Point Bennett. They don't usually
paddle together in the double, but didn't have much trouble with this
impromptu get together. They are both excellent rollers on their own and I
don't think they'd have much trouble rolling at all if they paddled double
more often. I'll ask him to comment on the feasibility during real world
conditions.

...whether it's feasible in rough conditions I couldn't say.
