How to roll a whitewater yak

Advice
#1

I tried to learn to roll my RPM max on my own,couldnt do it. A fellow yaker explained it to me,so I went to the lake and was able to roll 4 out of 5,not good enough…so I happened upon EJ’s Rolling and Bracing.I watched his 10 year old son,handrolling a yak 1/4 of his body weight!

Long story short version,I now am the handroll MASTER…its so easy…:slight_smile:

Here’s your next challenge
Excellent! An RPM is a great boat to learn rolling in. Keep at it.



Now that you have that down, try a few of these babies: http://www.kayakways.net/rollingvideo.html
