After I had solid Greenland Standard Roll, I started to practice Reverse Sweep Roll which is a forward roll. I borrowed a DVD, This is the Roll (1), from our paddling club and watched it more than 30 times. Again, there are too many things to remember. Fortunately, I figured out Chest Sculling very soon, so it gave me a good foundation. The DVD was really helpful especially the troubleshooting part.
The hardest roll among the three tolls is the Storm Roll. I had failed again and again. At a point, I was hesitated to capsized because I knew I would fail and sink. It was very frustrating and the idea to quit came to my mind. After all, I had two rolls and that's good enough to bail myself out when needed. Soon after that, I had progressed and gotten better little by little. Finally, I learned Storm Roll from the right side. It took me another three months to be familiar with both sides.
Since I had failed so many times, so I had to use Standard Roll or Forward Sweep Roll a lot. I was very confident at both rolls through a lot of practice.
