when I started out kayaking we a bunch of school kids would head down to
the canal and play in the kayaks and gradually learn things. I remember
learning to roll - the group of us were trying to workout how it was
done, none of could and only two had seen anyone else roll, it took
several weeks!!! AN instructor would have sped up this no end but we
would not have had so much fun!

the beach where I've been hanging out is just upstream from a favourite
rapids on the river. guys come to the beach to teach their girlfriends
how to roll a white water kayak. I've watched them enough to know how its
done. I just need to try it in a boat.
