    very nice

    had this student had any previous rolling experience? That’s some fairly good torso flexibility.

    Pure joy. Well done.

    derrick loooking at this looks gives me the idea that wooden paddles are better for rolling ,because of floating better on the surface.

  • derrick says:

    Karel, there is certainly a bit of truth in that, yet you really don’t want people to become dependent on the paddle either. In a perfect world they should be able to roll with or without the paddle. I often tell people to think about the paddle’s part in the roll simply as keeping it in your hand while you roll, but not rolling with it.

    Keith, yeah I think he had some roll before. There were some rollers in the classes, and some really fast learners too.

    Thanks silbs. . . isn’t it great to watch people learn!? That’s what makes instructing so much fun!
