One of the best roll videos I've ever seen because it explains all the reasons for the steps.

Best rolling instruction out there!

Awesome series. Very educational.

A really clear explanation and highly motivating to attain a successful rolling technique!

Love the Diesel. Great kayak.

Such a great video!

Pretty much the best rolling clinic video I have seen - brilliant cues for my use as both a paddler and in coaching sessions, thanks.

Very very good video!

I'm in the middle of making a similar video for seakayakers. I will recommend this along with mine. It is excellent.

Thank you, this is in my saved list, extremely great teaching method

Wunderbar - wunderwunderbar !!!! 1000 DANK - habs endlich verstanden - juhuuu

as I improve my roll - I would add this - get some speed on the sweep and throw a powerful hip snap - the set up is slow, as is the recovery wait until you are streched out far away from the boat - and then use your hips to right the boat , while your body is still down once you feel the snap turn the boat - only then bring your body up - keeping it curved with the head still in the water once your body is out of the water, then straigten out your curve at the core, first, and the head last then prepare for a low brace - to be ready for anything upon practicing, I hit such a hard hip snap - that I went over the other side! finally - if you are using the paddle to underwater high brace - it will work in the pond, but not when in rapids facing upstream - keep the paddle high, don't pull it down, and trust the hip snap pulling the paddle down will help push down on the water, but hurt your efforts just as bad by lowering your upper body in the water - its a tradeoff in flat water, it will help you if the paddle is downstream, but won;t let you roll upstream also, if you can just stick out your paddle downstream, you can high brace against the current and - practice it at the runout of a small rapid in a wave train - that is where you will be hitting your roll in real life

Very good,thank you

Very helpful, Thanks 😄

03:20 here you mention something really valuable, something I had to find out by a lot of trial and error, something seldom mentioned by others. Very good advice!

Another way to look at it, since in whitewater you often do not have time to set up, is when you capsize, fully extend your body up toward the surface before you begin to sweep your paddle (and body). Trying to sweep when your body is pointed straight down at the river bottom is seldom useful.

very good...

Very very good tehnik

Nice

I just took a lesson and was told to start the hip snap as soon as you start sweeping the paddle. In this video it seems like the hip snap occurs later as the paddle is all the way out to the side. This looks easier and more powerful. Do you start the hip snap when the paddle is all the way out to the side? Great video thanks for helping teach this skill.

I got told once you feel the boat go up a bit, do it then or just after you do the sweep to add extra momentum

There are different ways to do it. Waiting until the paddle is at 90 degrees from the boat until you do a hip snap is more like a traditional C-to-C roll. But if you start your hip snap (really just starting to press your knee/thigh into the brace) from the time your paddle starts sweeping, you start rolling the boat immediately and you may already be fully upright by the time the paddle reaches 90 degrees, rather than waiting until it's at that point to start the hip snap.

Great video, but for goodness sake, get rid of the music, or turn it down a lot. It's almost impossible to hear the commentary.
