Thanks for the tips!
I've been looking at some of these online roll-vid's and info. I can't
quite follow all the text how-to yet, with the terms. The vid's help.
I'm a bit concerned that examples use whitewater boats. My boat has a
round hull and high sides, too.
What kind of boat are you talking about.
I detailed the boat in the first post but maybe folks aren't familiar
with it. It's a narrow, round hull racing sea kayak---patterened after
a Seda Glider. 19 feet long, like about 20" wide. Totally round hull.

A C-C will be easier to learn than a front deck roll. Start first by using
someone elses boat or the side of a pool to practice a hip snap, that is,
learn how to rotate the boat under you before you bring your head out of the
water.
I can do that already to a strong extent but my whole show hasn't come
together yet. I think it partly relates to having such high sides and
rear and a hull that doesn't "flop" back upright.
I think I've been using the C-C. I'll keep trying---dryland
especially.
