eskimo roll

Many sea kayakers can't roll and never thought of learning, because they don't paddle in waters that are likely to flip them to begin with. As you know, it's not enough to learn, you have to practice every time you go out. That's a lot of commitment to prevent a swim that might happen once a year or less. People who want to go play in the surf should know how to roll, although even there you could just swim in to the beach if you needed to. Other than that, knowing how to do a deep water re-entry is enough for most people. Talking about playing in the (North Sea) surf, every year we see surfers and kayakers who go for a swim and who get in trouble due to the strong currents near the shore. Swimming in to the beach is not always an option, especially when low tide sets in. -- Wilko van den Bergh wilkoa t)dse(d o tnl Eindhoven The Netherlands Europe ---Look at the possibilities, don't worry about the limitations.--- http://kayaker.nl/ |
