Greenland Rolling

I had the good fortune to attended a demonstration of Greenland Rolling given by Lesley Mackay, assisted by Alan Forsyth. Have to say I was impressed and genuinely surprised by just how feasible she made it seem, the sort of thing anyone can learn.
The trick is you can float - you float, your boat floats, your paddle floats - and once you accept that it changes your whole outlook. Typically Greenland Rolling is described as "the ancient art of . . . " etc, like its out of date, unsuited to modern sea kayaking. I couldn't disagree more; After just twenty minutes of coaching from Lesley, I found myself convinced that I can learn how to roll. For sea kayaking rolling at least, this just might be the future.

Without doubt the best GP Rolling demo video I've seen on KZbin, thank you.

I know they are all very poor but this is equally as bad as the rest
