Kayak Rolling Clinic

$150 per participant. 50% of proceeds to benefit www.operationdeepblue.org

Overcome the urge to wet exit in the event of a capsize, add to your skill set and learn to roll your kayak in a controlled setting. A bomb-proof roll is a fundamental skill for the whitewater boater and a great confidence booster for the sea kayaker encountering rough water conditions.�Following the skill building approach, each participant will learn and practice proper wet exit techniques.�Types of rolls introduced will include the C-to-C and Sweep. The elements of each roll will be introduced and practiced in a progressive approach: the setup (getting into position to begin the roll); the support phase (using a paddle, hands or float for support on the water) and; the hip snap (bringing the boat underneath you to sit upright and completing the roll).�This skill can be accomplished using a properly outfitted whitewater or sea kayak.�A great skill to work on during the dog days of summer!
