G'day, I'm trying to do the same thing, bombproof my roll, focussing on technique and the following: - - visibility (learn to roll blind) - fatigue (practicing roll when tired but stop practicing if its crummy, no use reinforcing a sloppy technique) - Orientation (work out how to reorient your hands on the paddle after, losing hold of it, visual or tactile markings on paddle shaft may help) - learn to roll at the drop of a hat (already addressesd by others) - practice rolling against wind - learn how to cope rolling against surf (wait for wave to pass or if you have it, choose the appropriate on side or offside roll) - roll three times every trip (unless you have a stinking cold which I have at present so apologies if none of this makes sense!) BTW are other people getting error messages like the following on some Paddlewise emails? Could not parse the VSAP Response: Empty String at /usr/local/cp/lib/ControlPanel/MetaProc.pm line 186 All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
