Peter,

Concentrating on sweeping away has helped me considerably lately with my
roll. I too decided not to worry about where I was setting up and
concentrate on a good sweep and it has led to my success lately.
Yesterday, I got to paddle Craig Junger's Mariner Coaster and even though it
is wider than my QCC, I was able to roll it quite easily. So now I'm looking
at my old boat as the culprit in my troubles all this time!!!

He then told me that there was nothing magic about the air water interface,
to forget patting the surface with my blade that when I was upside down my
butt would be in the air anyway so he wanted me to focus on one thing only
and that was sweeping out away from the boat. He held the boat while I
practised this with out going over and one of the first things I noticed was
how the knee and hip automatically engaged when I swept out.


All the best, PeterO
