This is another video I filmed the same night of another guy at the pool. He
does a coupla rolls filmed from the bow. Then does one last one filmed from
the offside. From what I can tell the set up is basically the same on or
offside where you lean forward and lay the paddle powerside up on top of the
front bags and then when you're under you swing back and up and then push
down as you swing the paddle forward as you would on a low brace. The fellow
in the yellow boat seems like he just pushesd down rather than push and
swing forward.

To me the pushing down and forward makes more sense as you would be coming
out with your paddle in the forward position set up for a foward power
stroke.

Also notice how this guy has the paddle further from the boat and how he
basically starts his push with the paddle higher and somtimes even out of
the water giving him much greater leverage and power and making the roll and
least from the observer point seem much more effortless. We do have to give
credit to my bud Matt in the other video as this was his very first time
rolling a boat. I thought he did great!!


Hey, Pepe; can you make another video like that, but from the offside (the
side the paddler is falling over onto)? I'd like to see more of how he
sets up for the roll as he is going over.
