I did the two year solo routine teaching myelf. Read about ... do it ...read about it ... do it. It's not so bad if you stay in close and can do a brace off the bottom of the lake every time you don't make it up.

And alas I still cannot roll. My boreal designs fjord does not have thigh braces, so that doesn't help. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it. That is exactly how my class went last winter.

I took a rolling clinic after which I was sore for about two weeks, then spent months of practice in a pool by myself before I could get a reliable roll. Then you hear about those coaches who say they can teach people to roll in 15 minutes. Wish I knew where I could find one of them because I have a bunch of friends who really want to learn how to roll and I can't teach them. Yup, that’s the way I did it.
