Stick your paddle under the bungies before going over
Use half a paddle
Do off side rolls
Roll as many times in a minute as you can
Practice in surf and wind
Go to the dark side and try a "stick"
Put kids/big dogs on the deck and go rodeo until you dump
Toss a frisbee with friends until you reach too far and go over
Practice sculling up
Try a reentry and roll
Roll with no spray skirt
Roll without a paddle
