Whine & Rolls

Upside down
You turn me
Inside out
And round and round
- edwards & rogers

So. . . after about an hour of rolling and generally fooling around in the pool, Mary decided to try the video feature of our little Optio. What you end up with is me whining about being tired and Mary saying she doesn’t care, ( I know, I suffer. . I really, really suffer!) ending with another silly rolling demo from yours truly. What kind of roll is it? Well, I’m not sure really. But it does show you how learning a few traditional rolls can really help you with your Euro-rolls as well. At least I know I can pull it off one handed if I had to! The video is a WMV. Click Here! (it will open in your media player)

Next week maybe we can try something more serious. But on the other hand, what fun would that be??

    Looks like you should be working on hand rolls at this point! Good looking video. What are the settings on the optio for that?

    Also, my boat is arriving in about 2 hours (I’m leaving work during lunch to meet the driver at my house). Boy those guys at Sea Kayak Georgia really ship quickly! This kayak is by far my most expensive purchase to date but good thing I planned ahead and saved up for it. I’m hoping to bring it in to the pool today to do it’s inagural rolls. Hopefully I’ll love it. :)

    Congratulations on the Silhouette, Alex. It seems an excellent choice. Narrow, sleek, nice tight cockpit. Wholly unexpensive.
    Let us know on the performance.
    Yet your kayak rack seems to me half-empty.
