Buy Kent Ford's video _The Kayak Roll_. He shows a sweep roll that you
end up sitting mostly upright, rotated toward the working blade. It
should work very well with your boat. There's noting critical about
leaning back if you can accomplish the same ting without it. It's also
better than the C-to-C.

I have a woodstrip racing sea kayak patterned after the Seda Glider.
It has a really high back deck (cockpit combing). I can't lean back
hardly at all in it. I've been trying to learn how to roll it. So far,
so shaky. I wish I could get my C of G lower as my torso comes out of
the water but due to the rear deck my CoG is working against me at its
max leverage. Rats. Is there another kind of roll out there that might
be EASY with a high rear deck? Any links to pics, info? Maybe I could
somehow reverse my sweep and tuck back forward as I come up? Thanks! --
