We conducted several summer rolling sessions for new kayakers and some trying to improve their existing roll. Sessions were held at different locations(Sandbar, Waterbury Reservoir, Shelburne beach and a few attempts on the Winooski)
Many different instructors participated- Thanks Rich, Ken, Paul, Chris, Jamie.
At each session people improved and many learned their roll. Combat roll will be the next step for many of them. All the instuctors improved their own roll adding offside and back deck rolls to their solid combat rolls.
I really enjoyed these informal sessions especially this summer with so few paddling opportunities. Getting in the water on hot evenings was a pleasure. Always fun getting together with great friends. John A
