Rolling a kayak improves your confidence.
The kayak
roll is one of the more tricky maneuvers to master, and may take regular training
sessions. Rolling will become a very important part to advancing your kayaking
skills. We understand paddlers fears or concerns and have a patient style to
improving your skills.
This
course is great for improving your confidence and support strokes highlighting
a stable paddling position. The rolling technique can be a big leap in your learning, it is important you understand the actions required for a good effective roll, without putting strain on your body.
We do not say you will roll on the day, as all paddlers learn at their own
pace. Breaking the kayak roll down into small sessions we use a simple method
of teaching the roll and will tailor the training to suit your ability. This
rolling course is great to improve your confidence upside down in a kayak and
understand how to paddle more balanced and support yourself effectively.
