Rolling is the most critical skill any kayaker must know. Also called
the "Eskimo Roll," it is the act of righting an overturned kayak through
body motion, often complemented by paddling. Those new to kayaking can
acquire the three-dimensional thinking necessary to progress in the
sport by learning the skill, while intermediates and even advanced
paddlers can gain enhanced confidence by fine-tuning their rolling
technique. Kayak Rolling: The Black Art Demystified is an
easy-to-follow, four-color guide to learning and improving a bombproof
roll in rough water. Relevant to all kayakers, from sea kayakers to
playboaters, its step-by-step, visual approach to learning through
sequence photos, illustrations, and diagrams makes it a must-have for
paddlers of all kinds of kayaks if they wish to resurface healthy and
conscious when their boats turn over.
