    Couple more tips: Turn your head so that you look at the blade in the water at the same time, this will also turn your upper body into right direction. Keep your upper hand close to the shoulder, pushing it too far brings the blade behind you and you lose part of the support it gives. Keep it up!

    There’s 1 thing you should do to get your roll every time. All you have to do is keep your head down. Don’t lift your head out of the water when you feel like you are fully flipped over. Your head should be the last thing out, imagine you are sweeping with your head resting on your paddle tip

    You need to set up first in a tight tuck position when starting out, will help with form. Also try sweeping across the surface. Work on your hip snap and don't lift your head! With practice it will come fairly easily, Greenland paddles are great for rolling. There's a few non tutorial pool training sessions on my page may help, took me about 5 months to get really good at rolling and Im glad I learned the correct technique.

Here’s a great video from James Manke: ua-cam.com/video/PFW6zMBfxuY/v-deo.htmlsi=wOe4NEQoC9g0Zr7J Another tip to get your paddle closer to the chest and not using your arms so much is to put something under your left armpit and it should stay there the entire time throughout the whole roll. That will stop you from using your arms/shoulders. This was a great tip shared to me from someone else 😊 hope it helps!

    Thanks for sharing this great video and the info on the put-in and takeout. My wife and I have sit in Lifetime Kayaks without skirts, we have done great some rapids on the Potomac, but not great falls or anything big. Also, never at great water heights. Normally we hope not to tip over, (Although, we acknowledge that risk). and know that our kayaks will take on a lot of water here and there). We are new to the area and miss our old haunts. So if the water is low, (Below 4ft), we are thinking of attempting this as a potentially fun jaunt. Anyone, feel free to let us know if you have any advice or warnings of caution? Thanks 🙂
