Re: Dry land rolling practice

Jake, I like thinking about biomechanics to optimize my own technique but you don't have understand the biomechanics of a task to perform a task. Gait is pretty complicated but most people walk pretty well. People are different and different people roll in different ways…. even if an understanding o...

Re: Paddler Weight for Esquif Detonator

Really? I know the phantom is a little better for lighter paddlers but 190lbs isn't THAT big. Maybe the design didn't match your style. Can you try the detonator before you buy it?

Re: Dry land rolling practice

It's sounds like your either skipping or rushing step 2 but it's difficult to tell without seeing. Try practicing step 1 and 2 without 3 and take some video. The boat should be upright before you finish your roll.

If I can think of it, I ll take some video on Sunday and send it your way.

Re: Dry land rolling practice

I've never heard anyone make rolling sound more difficult than Jakke.

Rick, most would agree that the new designs still roll really well despite being quite deep…. just keep your head as low as you can.

Re: Dry land rolling practice

A few hours a week is a lot. People always want to make rolling more complicated than it is. 3 steps 1. Get your paddle blade and upper body near the surface 2. Roll the boat with your lower body (legs and abs). You should be able to get it upright with your head still in the water. 3. When (and onl...

Re: curious about c1

Pat, what C1's have you spent time in and what boat do you paddle normally? There are enough hull designs in different sizes that anyone should be able find a C1 that will work for them. My only experience with C1 has been in play boats…. my advice here is that you want to be at the bottom of the we...
