Intro to the Roll 7/20/10
After Second Lesson – Intro to the Roll
Hello Everyone!
It’s Patty, your Renaissance Adventure Guides instructor!
First thing I want you to know: DO NOT FRET IF YOU DID NOT GET THE ROLL LAST NIGHT! It takes most people an average of 6 hours JUST WORKING SPECIFICALLY on the roll to become somewhat consistent. And it takes YEARS of practice to become 100% consistent. However, you have had a really good start and we will get you dialed in during our next class: Mastering the Roll!!
If you would like to see a video about the C to C roll, here is a good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dguv1CdEJXQ&feature=related
If you are interested in practicing, you can attend one of our "Open Pool" practice sessions any Thu evenings at the Golden Rec Center. No instruction, just you and your boat (along with hopefully some friends and all kayakers are friendly people). Entry is $10 and boat rentals are $10. Reservations required: http://raguides.com/kayaking-school/pool-classes/open-pool/ (or call the office).
REMINDER: Please purchase noseplugs before the last class. You can get them at Golden River Sports as they offer a discount to all our students. www.GoldenRiverSports.net.
"Tips are Always Welcome."
Thanks,
Patty LaBarge
