You bet! And thank you for your comment.

Dear Andrew West Wood, I enjoyed the video. The video about canoeing was swell, exciting and fun to watch! I was more than delighted when i found your channel. Anyway, I can’t wait to be in your class this year (2020-2021)!! - Jacenly Al- Nabhan (ps. i love canoes and please stop forcing people to say skrizzors because of us.) (p.s.s It’s me Abbas I’m just proofreading this so Jacenly won’t have terrible grammar and punctuation have a great day!)

Very nice. Can't wait to get back to whitewater canoeing this year, adding that back to the quiver from my canoe ultra racing and tripping.

We get it. We've been challenged in many ways over the past 3 years - note it took that much time to reply! Sorry about that....

I love it, beautiful detail. Thanks

Another great instructional video Andrew and Carol. Good job!

Well made video with lots of good pointers tips and information although I would have to say part of the trick is the leg straps that you guys are wearing I have a bigger an older white water canoe with a perception saddle that's made from plastic and even with the horns it is extremely hard to finish with your thighs when wet and upside down it wasn't till I bought the thigh straps and was secured in the canoe that I then had the ability to flipper back over. But definitely a great video.

Absolutely! Straps are essential.

Anything to keep your legs “locked” in really. Foam bulkhead good too. Toe pegs or foam are good to press against to keep yourself in place. Try not to relax the legs when you go upside down otherwise you’ll drop out of your canoe.

The troubleshooting section will help me get a consistent roll, Thanks

Yeah that a fun section to do. Thanks Mike!

Really well done video, very clear, pretty much the old Bob Foote low brace roll, but again well done, thanks to Andrew and Esquif.

The tandem roll is the more experienced paddler "in the stern" holds his breath and waits for the dude in the front to bail out. Then you roll as normal...

will this work with a typical canoe without the bulkhead floatbags? I suppose you would have to have your thighs under the thwarts for starters.

Hey Mike, the rolling skill can be done the same way with your thighs wedged beneath the center thwart of your canoe. You may find that rolling without airbags is actually easier. With the reduced buoyancy you don't have to lift yourself as far above water.
