1-Day Basic Kayak Rolling
Top 3 Reasons to Go
- Learn to roll in the protected environment of a pond.
- Our instructor to student ratio is 1:3, providing lots of personal attention.
- We are flexible in our teaching, using either C-to-C, modified sweep or sweep roll technique depending on each individual's needs.
Don't let an inability to roll hold you back! Rolling is one of the essential kayaking techniques that can make paddling a joy by lessening the fear and hassle of swimming in whitewater. Our instructors are American Canoe Association (ACA) certified and have many years of experience teaching rolling to a variety of students. Their kayaking tips can help you move from practicing hip snaps to learning the paddle motions to rolling in a logical progression.
Our low student-to-instructor ratio assures that you will receive the personalized attention our instruction program is known for. Our flexible instruction method uses both the C-to-C roll and the Modified Sweep roll to accommodate people with different body types and to make learning fast and enjoyable.
On these clinics we work on flatwater and on the Deerfield River teaching those without a roll as well as improving the technique of students who already have rolls.
WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE
Goal of the clinic
To teach those without a roll, and work with those who already have a roll, to perfect their technique and apply it to moving water and whitewater situations.
Who should take this clinic?
These clinics are for novice to intermediate paddlers who want to learn to roll. Our minimum age for this clinic is 14.
What will be covered?
We will teach the roll that works best for you. Most people will learn either the c-to-c and/or the modified sweep roll (and any other variations students want to try) in a pond in the morning, concentrating on ensuring proper fit in the boat, maximum use of the hips and minimum reliance on the paddle. Depending on the level and desires of the group, we can work on more pond rolling in the afternoon, or move to the river for work on rolling in real river situations.
