    Hello Anna, Thank you for the video and sharing problems with the roll. I've also a dominat right side. This season I had problems on my left side. I guess that I've too much tension in my opposite hip. My head comes up first, than I (nearly) fail. What do you do to consciously relaease the opposite hip? Is there a trick? Sorry I didn't get it from the video. Warm greetings from Munich! 🥨 René

    How does one reconcile training oneself to relax via breath and breathing when you are underwater (especially unexpectedly) and don’t have the ability to take a couple deep breaths?

    You have a knack for explaining without going overboard and talking needlessly. Other channels ramble on too much or leave me mystified. Keep up the excellent vids! I'm going to share them with a kayak group I recently joined.

    Always take the time to set up properly, even in the middle of a rapid. Rushing will usually lead to a failed roll.

    You only showed 360 full Eskimo rolls. But what about actual combat rolls where you get flipped and have to roll up on the same side?

    I think a lot of the problems you are seeing manifest themselves are the result of 50,000 different you tube channels demonstrating the 30,000 variants of this, and other strokes, without the emphasis on the basics of the stroke and then the 30,000 ever so slight variants. It's also being mixed up between whitewater and sea kayaking.

    I have a hydro phobia hence reason I started kayaking last fall 2023 i have not attempted the roll yet& i'm glad I found your video! My intuition was telling me that I was in for a real mental game with this move dry suit a sox for the yqk and warmer weather & someone there to assist i spend two times a day from 1hr to 6hrs & as long as 12hrs on or next to the river seeing a harbor seal & a sealion&her pup for past two months didn't help for the first month and the beavers who are very territorial and aggressive and attack the yak at night or any boat for that matter made me question why i was out there so i say off the water at night for now none of this slowed me down made me spend even more time on the snoq. River so to pull this roll thing off is going to be a challenge for me for sure just being on the water scares the fucking hell out of me so being under water in a yak is going to be interesting to say the least ! I mentioned that i have a phobia of deep or murky waters and drowned when I was 5yrs old in a swimming pool drowning was pleasant and peaceful not scary at all it's when your slammed back into the body after being Ressessatated! That's the traumatizing part! I'm now 50 and don't want to carry this damn phobia into the next life because it's from a past life already. Thank you so much for this helpful & informative video! Every thing happens for a reason weather one believes in it or not it dose! Lovelight lightlove & safe water work& play for every one!

    According to Ayurveda, it's hydrating, helps to stimulate digestion (sour taste is heating), is a gentle daily cleanser and has a scraping effect on the body. health.clevelandclinic.org/7-reasons-to-start-your-day-with-lemon-water-infographic

    Mentally I just focus on being upright but pretty good at waiting and feeling the water upside down! I'm going to try the relaxing of the opposite hip bit next time I get a chance as I'm a terrible head lifter even if I normally roll successfully.

    I seem to go too fast through rapids catching up with other people but you say don't put your paddle in the water to slow down as I know because I felt as if I was going to flip. Still not grasping this

    Carrying my ww kayak has always been awkward and difficult. Until I discovered I was doing it wrong. I used to try to carry it like they are in this video, with the bow in front and the stern in back. But doing the OPPOSITE changed everything for me. Carrying it with the stern in the front and bow in the back, I can now carry it with ease, and no more awkwardness. So if you find carrying your kayak is hard, do it backwards! It might make a world of difference. It did for me. BTW It's not that they're doing it wrong in the video, it's just that we all have different kayaks with different weights, balance points, and shapes. Not all methods work the same for all kayaks. My Zet Chili likes being carried backwards. lol.

    at my age (62) it’s all about having fun with my mates, loving nature and keeping active. sometimes, we’re so remote that a reckless moment spoils everything for the whole group. Being careful, knowing when to portage is paramount. class 3 max is usually the limit

  • @halieorr22
    @halieorr227 ай бұрын

    Class Fun for me is running a river that I enjoy that isn’t super high consequence. Also, what makes it fun for me is the group that I paddle with. I love to laugh, sing silly stuff, play.. practice the hard moves on the easier rivers. I have recently started learning to stern squirt & that is making easier runs more fun & improving my roll greatly. Class Fun is my jam!! That’s why I paddle.
