Paddlewisers,
   
  Rolling a double (at least some) is quite easy. It just takes a pre-agreed side to roll up on, such as the side you capsized on. Good timing isn't necessary, because you can scull up first and then roll. I can't believe I repeatedly hear a BCU coach say side sculling is useless?
   
  Below is a link to another rolling video with me in the front seat. We failed a static brace, and my partner went for roll while I went for a scull. So our timing was off. We still made it up fine:

  I know these are calm water videos, but there's no reason why two good rollers shouldn't usually be able to roll a double in rough water.
