So far I'm getting good practice at wet exits. I just need to practice more.

Oh my gosh! Chris Spelius !! How are you? GREAT to see you (even if it is only on You Tube).... I remember when you were creating this roll on the banks of the Ocoee River in 1986 and I was your student guinea pig!!! It's a fantastic roll... 20+ years later and I hope I can still do it.... My 19 year old daughter is very interested in Kayaking.. go figure... maybe we'll see you soon in Chile...Hope you and your family are well.... (rhonda caswell baker)

How do you hold your blade under the boat? Does it rotate with you?

Fantastic tutorial. I'm new to kayaking and it was my mission to learn to roll as quickly as possible. Me and my bro have just been out for our fourth session in our kayaks and with the help of this tutorial we both successfully rolled for the first time.No swimming pools, no hands-on professional instruction, just a river, some knowledge gained from Chris Spelius' videos and a lot of determination.Please check out our video Fourth Time in Our Kayaks on my YouTube page.Thanks!

If you squint your eyes, it seems like a slightly effeminate Henry Rollins talking about kayaking.

do you let your blade flip while in motion under the kayak?
