Rolling on the web

[alcoons]

Anyone have any opinions on the information on rolling by Rob Hignell at

http://web.singnet.com.sg/~songhao/Rolling/roll.htm ?

Other online sources you like better?

Thanks,

You might take a look at Eric Jackson's DVD on bracing and rolling. It's a different approach, using a deep high brace first, then a roll, but lots of people find it very effective. It's not online, but it is on media so you can use it for self-learning.

David, can you recommend a source to purchase Jackson's DVD/video?

For G-style, I like, http://www.qajaqjpn.org/maneuvers/maneuvers1.html.

Many sites also have video clips such as:

http://www.qajaqusa.org/Movies/movies.html

http://waldenqajaqsociety.org/on_about.html

http://www.whitemountainweb.com/kayakerperry/videoRolls.html

I can dig up a couple more video sites later.

You might give these a try. I hesitate to give rolling tips, but

I will leave you with this one: use whatever works best to get you upright. What works well for another paddler may not click with you.
