Hey Bob,

This is the clip I was telling you about at the pool session yesterday. He is from Belfast, Ireland and does a nice progression of different rolls. Enjoy !!!

While the paddler is clearly a good roller and comfortable under water, it is amazing how he finds unique and interesting ways to recover. These are not Greenland rolls (for the most part) as most are done wrong and/or mislabeled.

People interested in learning Greenland rolls can attend Walden Qajaq Society pool sessions and meetups or take classes with Cheri and Turner. We are fortunate to live in an area where a number of people knowledgeable in Greenland rolling are available to help you. The paddler in this video probably does not have the resources available to him that we have.

Recent local pool session videos of Greenland rolls can be seen here:

A good video of a series of Greenland rolls, with and without paddle, can be viewed here:

A good collection of rolling videos of individual rolls can be seen at Cheri and Turners site, kayakways.net

Nancy,

Thank you for the post. That is what I suspected, but didn't feel sufficiently confident to speak up.

Cheers!

Les, Thanks for the video. This person is really good at 'applying force vectors and control surfaces' to roll up - whatever the rolls are called. The deck mounted camera works well to show the moves. BTW, kudos on the butterfly rolls yesterday!

Nancy, Thanks for the other videos. We were trying these rolls and bracing techniques in the pool session.
