Cheers for the comments, I don't need the boat to be easier to roll, I just don't want it to stall. I am going to put wood gunnels on it and thought maybe chop a half inch off the bow and an inch off the stern. I'll do it anyway if folks are curious..

Kelvin.

Hey Tommy, If that paddle position works for you cool! It is a similar paddle position to how I back deck roll. I am going to give you a few things to think about. You roll the boat using the forward sculling action, there is little evidence of a hip flick. If you combined your forward skull with an...

Jan Van Hees

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know Jan from open-canoe.be. I am trying to get hold of his e-mail address. I was trying to send him some information through his web site when his server blocked my I.P. address.

If anyone could help that would be cool,

Kelvin.
