    Anna! This video helped me so much! I was able to diagnose a couple of things that had messed up my roll. I'm so grateful you made this video.

    Just saw this. Thx. I’ve previously dislocated my shoulder, is this something I need to be careful with when attempting to roll?

    That's great thanks - got it. I do wonder if I can do it for real though without the time to set up properly, or if it rolls the other way etc😮 Time will tell...

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

    Great tutorial! A question: you talk about cocking the wrist up. Could you elaborate? My understanding is that you need a slight climb angle on the blade, as if you were sculling.That would have you cocking your wris slightly _down_ (forward) at leas at the start of the sweep. You talk about "shedding resistance". Maybe the wrist should be slightly cocked down at the beginning of the sweep and then cocked up at the end? Thanks in advance or your reply

    • @mathisparent626

      Im no expert but the thing about the wrist shedding resistance is for the end of the movement ! Once you started going up and you reached the end of the effective range of motion of the sweep, you don't need to press on the paddle because the hips are the ones finishing the movement of the roll. So you cock your wrist so that your paddle isn't parallel to the water, you want the paddle to slice the water while is going up ! At least that's how I saw it.

      For me I roll my wrist up so that the paddle has a climbing angle and it helps keep the sweep close to the surface of the water and allows more pressure to be applied to the paddle, if u sweep with a climbing angle you'll see that you can put much more force the the paddle compared to when the paddle is flat and not moving, try it on the pool stand up and the effect a climbing paddle has, although I don't use it to shed resistance, I found the climbing angle just make a more effective brace

    Excellent 👍 your step by step is by far the best and easiest to follow sweep roll video I've seen on UA-cam...and I've seen alot of them! What's your opinion on the back deck roll?

  • @robertkee7534

    Is it a solution or poor form to lean backwards to the back deck as I hip snap up

      @Kapow666 Рік тому

      It’s more personal preference

    This is helpful. Ive recently been reminded of moving my paddle towards the bow of the boat before sweeping out, doesn't look like you are doing so. Thoughts?

    • @AnnaLevesque
      @AnnaLevesque  4 роки тому +2

      For the sweep roll it's more effective to rotate instead of tuck. You still protect the front of your body and face with the rotation. Tucking actually can hinder your effectively with the roll.

    Do you have any dry land activities that will help to strengthen or improve techniques to best prepare us to begin practicing in a pool or lake?

    Would you say the sweep roll is more effective than the C to C roll?

    • @AnnaLevesque
      @AnnaLevesque  4 роки тому +3

      I think the sweep is more easily accessible to more body types and flexibility levels. As an instructor I teach the sweep almost exclusively. Having said that, it's important to find the roll that works for you and for the student that you're teaching (if you're teaching). Teach people not paddling :)

      @@AnnaLevesque That is an interesting point of view, thanks. I thaught myself the C to C roll, but when I try to help others to devellop their roll, I notice that most of them tend to the sweep roll. So that exactly confirms what you say. Cheers!

      I was working with a sea kayaker who had tryed to learn to C-to-C without much progress. From 10 feet away, I talked her through a sweep roll. To her amazement, she popped right up. "My God," she exclaimed. "That was so fucking easy!"

    Videos should be made from the orientation of the kayaker. Not some opposite view. So hard to ascertain what needs to be done otherwise. If we are copying you, it's mirrored.
