Hope to see you folks there, Freddie Carter Shane, I heard a rumor that the Liquid Logic crew was going to show up for the Missouri Whitewater Instructional Clinic on the Saint Francis River on April 23rd, 24th & 25th (23rd being Friday night before the actual clinic) Is it just a “rumor” or are you and some of your crew actually coming out to see us ?

Thats what this site is all about, putting it out there. We want folks to talk about this stuff. And we knew that instructors and paddlers alike would have a ton of feedback about the roll. Its one of the most analyzed parts of paddling. I learned by watching folks do rolls, and from an old german book. If what I say, the video shows, or your comments bring a better picture for someone of how a roll should work then we are on the right track. Shane Hey Steve and Juliet

Here is a little tidbit to add.... when boats started going short and flat, folks started crying that they could not do their roll so well any more--specifically because they were not "flexible enough" in these new boats to get their paddle to the surface. It turned out that the real problem was not flexibility, but that the profiles of the boats had changed, putting so much of the volume right around the knees-which is also the set-up position for rolling. Ken listened to everyone squawk for a while and then went out one day to figure out why rolling seemed so hard for everyone. He returned after a day out teaching with a simple solution: in the set up position, move the hands back behind the knees. Now the hands are setting up in a position to more easily reach to the surface of the water. Just moving the hands back behind the knees in the set up position solved a lot of folks' problem, regardless of "which" roll they did. Shane-

As per the person that invented the C-TO-C there are some mistakes in teh video. The instructions are good, but the demo rolls negate what is discussed below. The proper finish to the roll should have the paddler sitting up, back arched, and paddle out of the water. Not trying to sound pompous, but if you are going to put out an instructional video it should be correct. Even if it is free. Good video.
