learn to eskimo roll in a kayak

I learned when our local community college was allowed to hold classes and open boating at our pool. At first I had trouble (with the C to C) but I eventually got it. Then I got really good at the Sweep, or Twist and Slice, but I seem to have lost that, but it wouldn’t take much to get it back, I’m sure. Main things that helped me:
Practice
Watching videos on Youtube
Nose clips while practicing
Other people there, both experienced and inexperienced

I tried for a week at the Natahala Outdoor Center…I spent a lot of time wet and out of the boat.

It feels great to roll, so keep practicing! A few things that helped me:
1. keeping a log of attempts, successes/failures and combat rolls
2. Taking a lesson
3. Reading “The Bombproof Roll and Beyond”—awesome book which taught me to hands-roll (no paddle)

I managed to do an unassisted roll but that was in the fall and I have barely been able to get in a boat since. Finally getting my own kayak this month though, so then I’ll just be waiting for slightly warmer weather to see if I still got my roll down :)

This is really difficult. It looks ridiculously easy when seasoned kayakers do it, but it really takes some serious practice and effort. However, the feeling I got when I completed my first unassisted roll was awesome!

it means you get your kayak upright again without having to leave your boat. The trick is to use your hips to swing the kayak round again. You can use your paddle or your hands to get momentum. But the key is mostly about this hip-thing.
In winter kayakkingclubs often practise in swimmingpools to learn it.

one way to do it is based on the high brace-paddle movement. Just ‘excagarate’ it immensley (hmm, my enlgish has water up its nose, appearently. You know what I mean, right?)
