My Kayak Roll Learning Experience (1)

It is not that easy as people said.

I was 55 at that time. Did not have good flexibility.

I took a class from a famous kayak school. The lady gave me a walk around of their facility and answered my questions, "90% of our students have a roll in that class". I thought I could do it and I did have
ONE roll. Well, I had no idea how I made it. Everything happened so fast.
Two years later, I took another rolling class by a world famous kayaker. Well, he is very good for
sure but other students all had a solid basic roll and they practiced advanced roll over there. I failed
again.

Fortunately, my paddling club friends encouraged me to try again and helped me in the pool session.
After three sessions, I finally learned how to do standard roll. I am grateful that I met some friendly
members who have very good skills and passion. A lot of videos from paddling club and Youtube
gave me a better idea to fine tune my skills. I like to thank those fellow kayakers who have helped me
during the learning process.
