Jackson WW kayaks roll very easily with a layback hip snap the roll EJ teaches but do not respond as well to a traditional C2C, especially a forward finishing one. The Dragorossi Fish is a bear to roll with a traditional C2C but responds well to forward finishing. It seems your hitting some important points. Some rolls like the c-c are a hit or miss type roll that requires good timing and aggressive technique. I feel that a roll that can be performed with minimal strength is the most dependable.
Kayaks that can be balanced braced suit this type of roll best. Hull design, seat height, coaming shape and size are very important. A kayak that balance braces will have very good secondary stability which will help your bracing and keep you upright. Every kayak can be rolled with different technique but why not make a kayak roll very easily.
The only manufactured kayak that I have paddled that meets these specs is the Outer Island by Jay Babino. Being a competent roller allowed Jay to make the proper design features.
I Agree…body, boat, blade…that is the order of importance for a roll… the boat notation has nothing to do with chines etc. Best Wishes Roy. And all kayaks are roll able, it's part of the design of any kayak They don't all roll at the same speed, some need to take their time coming around and will refuse to be hurried and don't really care that you own them I have heard many good things about the Tempest kayak but have never had the opportunity to paddle one so my previous comments are not intended toward that kayak.
Having a fit… To me fit is critical - by that I mean contact at the foot braces, thigh braces, and back. If I am too loose in a boat I flop around in it and the boat does not move when I move. Too tight, and I lose my range of motion. Remember that you start with the paddle at a degree angle — unlike the sweep roll — before applying downward pressure.
Doing your first successful kayak roll is a huge milestone for every paddler — and a good indicator of how much their skills have improved. The learning process will be anything but smooth and easy, though. The more you practice how to roll a kayak , the more comfortable you become when you find yourself upside down in the water, strapped inside your kayak, and unable to breathe. Just remember is an essential part of good kayak safety. Sure, it still sounds scary as heck when you put it like that — but at least you have your training to rely on in such a dangerous scenario.

I did panic for a day when I could not roll at all resulting in one swim and 8 T Rescuse. Following day tried again. It just clicked. Thank the river Gods. The Boss women would have killed me If I had gone to get anothr boat.
Moral of the story. Correct incentive matters and you will be able to roll anything. Post by TechnoEngineer » Wed May 27, pm A boat that's shaped like a log is going to be hard to roll. A boat that shaped like a banana e. Greenland-style kayaks is going to be easy to roll. The downside of having a boat that's easier to roll is that the roll itself could become weaker. Post by Teaman » Wed May 27, pm My nordcapp. Not easy to roll after rolling my stomper due to needing a different style of roll.
Easier to roll with my left than my stomper but harder to roll neatly as i tend to kick the front up and in low level water the back end jams in the ground at times which throws my coordination out.
I'd say rolling in relative. My dagger approach was ok to roll as long as you could get it past vertical due to it being as wide as a house.

I've spouted off about this before, but get wound up by the "I can roll in a pool but not a river" train of thought. A roll is a roll. I watched my bud roll up first time in super aerated water at the base of the Cheakamus falls the other day.
With a dislocated shoulder. There's incentive. Post by Mark Dixon » Thu May 28, pm Franky, I actually find it easier to roll in moderate water than flat water, I find I can move around easier. You are definately right that beginners will learn to roll in flatwater, have a good roll and then have to relearn it in fluffy water, its just a head game and shock but once they are relaxed with paddling "a roll is a roll" I've watched friends get out way too quick and I've worked with club paddlers in holes where the consequences are minimal and once relaxed they've agreed with me its just as easy Post by DaveBland » Thu May 28, pm Franky, I hear what you are saying, and all those are indeed factors that influence things.
They are doubts and excuses in your head, rather than significant hurdles that will stop you rolling. If you find anything is wrong or outdated. Please leave a comment below, I will update as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, Happy Kayaking.
Thanks for mentioning that kayaking in poor weather conditions can cause your kayak to flip due to high waves. My wife and I would like to learn how to ride a kayak since my uncle gave us one for my birthday, but we are worried that our inexperience could make it difficult to remain safe when using it.
Maybe we should find a kayak tour to help us ensure that we are safe. I always emailed this weblog post page to all mmy contacts, since if like to read iit afterward myy contacts will too. Thank you for helping me to understand how to properly balance while riding a kayak. My wife and I are wanting to ride some kayaks this summer during our vacation.
