Some are very disappointed when I say that I have never used the roll on a trip, just in training. Moreover, when I say that the roll does not have as much to do with seakayak touring they often look a bit strange at me. Nevertheless, it is my honest and sincere opinion.

HOWEVER, it is not mean that you should not learn the roll. It is crucial to your development in a sea kayak. Without the roll you lose a lot of time and energy when you are training or playing to improve your skills as a paddler. You must never forget that the roll does not work every time!

The rolling clinic runs over three hours with up to five participants, those who knows sculling already manage the roll easily druing this course.
