"...way above anything else that has ever been made...Students have done infinitely better since we started using the new video. We have yet to have anyone complete the course who has not been able to roll." - Steve Christensen , Instructor, Carbon Country Recreation Department "The Kayak Roll video is just the best. Excellent in all respects. This is going to help so many people you should be very pleased" - Mike Aronoff , Paddling instructor "I watched the Kayak Roll and taught a class using those concepts last night with great success - 5 of 7 students rolled. Then there's me! I've been struggling with my roll, but for teaching and demonstration purposes, I've not been at all happy with the way the roll looked and felt. I tried the "no resistance" paddle position last night and came up on the first try with a "perfect finish" position. I was so excited and my students couldn't believe that was the first time I'd tried that roll." - Ardie Shaffer, Instructor "Nice teaching progression." - Wayne Horodowich Just want you to know that the dvd "The Kayak Roll" is by far the most professional I have seen on kayaking! The instruction is clear and concise; the filming is obviously done by a pro! Marilyn Schroeder A guide to smooth pain-free rolls!, August 20, 2005 Reviewer: D. Fox All of the reviews seem to agree that this is an excellent instructional video. I concur, I would just like to add that in addition to being an effective style of roll, it is also VERY easy on your shoulders. After a few seasons of failure and shoulder pain attempting to do a C-to-C roll I plunked down the money for this video. It was well worth it. It still took a few sessions to master (mainly just forcing myself to do what the video tells me to do!) but I now have a solid, trustworthy roll, and don't really have pain in my shoulders. It's true, once you have a roll your confidence and ability really starts to improve. Roll or Die, December 19, 2004 Reviewer: Jeff (MN) I finally picked this DVD up a year ago, watched it a couple times through last winter. Got it out in early spring, watched it again. Went out and still bombed a few attempts. Payed closer attention and within an hour was popping rolls fairly frequently. Excellent teaching tool, by the end of the summer I was rolling on both sides, fully loaded sea kayak. Rough water, cold water. Just put the boat away for the winter two weeks ago, here in MN, no open water left. Last thing I did before the end of the season, a couple of real cold rolls. Amazing teaching guide, July 16, 2004 Reviewer: Mark Svendsen (Seattle, WA USA) I bought this DVD after struggling to learn the roll, and finally learned it on the second pool session after watching it. It was mostly filmed in a slow-moving river with whitewater kayaks, but also shows some sea-kayak-specific scenes, and the whole video applies to either form of kayaking. It even has some pretty amazing footage of kayakers riding some pretty serious ocean surf. It works, May 23, 2004 Reviewer: A viewer I spent MONTHS trying to learn the C-to-C roll, including classes, books and pool practice sessions. At best ... read more
