That was probably the most useful and succinct lesson I've seen for the back deck roll. Fabulous!

Wow, that was awesome. Now I have an actual way to learn the movement. In 25 years of kayaking. I have never been able to do a back deck roll. I attempted it a bunch in the water but always failed and had to revert to a sweep roll. Thanks, Mandy!

Finally something valuable! Thank you!

Excellent video. Well done. Thank you.

thanks for a great video

Very good video friend 👍👍👍

Mandy .. that a girl !! Great video!

wow!! love u!!!!!!!!!!!!

is it possible to do this practice with a bigger kayak (like Q Kayaks's Bandit?). Does the paddle plays a part in Back Deck Roll or the crux of this roll lies on the lower half of the body?

I think it would be rather difficult to practise on dry land with a long kayak because you would get very squashed. Short answer - both contribute. The intent of this video is to show the concept of sweeping the paddle around under the back of the kayak, maintaining the angle on the blade that keeps it rising, while doing the hip action. I know it is bit hokey, but these 3D dynamic actions can be difficult to conceptualise.
