Hey ya'll me and my bud matt finally decided to learn to roll an open boat
and this past Monday
went to the GCA (Ga Canoe Assoc) roll practice pool session to start
training. I am a very visual person and decided that it would be a good idea
to video the training so we/I could learn from it. The link below is a low
res video I did with my digital Nikon still camera of my bud Matt while he
practiced and Allan Hedden was behind shaking and upsetting the boat to
simulate rough water. I won't be starting my practice for a coupla weeks and
I find this video very helpful to learn the techniques besides it's also fun
to watch. Czeck it out at

Its WMV video and it's 2.7 Mb. It'll take a few seconds to load if you have
DSL but on dial up it could take quite a bit longer.


Thanks for sharing, Pepe! That was fun to watch. I still remember the
first time I saw an open boater flip and roll up instantly on a river
(That was Steve Frazier, who's recently departed from canoeing
alltogether :-( ).

That's something else than throwing a playboat around. :-)
