Great tips, but I think that which side you should go over on depends on which way your paddle is feathered (right handed/left handed). EJ explains this well in his video - both blades are in an inclined position. Also I found his concept of doing a pushup on the paddle really helpful for keeping my head dry. Looking forward to next video!

And yet you will capsize according to however the water is flowing against your boat, so, react and come up on the other side.

i watched 1 video on how to back deck roll from WhiteWaterPaddlingTV and got it within 30mins in the pool. From my experience for anyone wanting to learn this video is alot more detailed and has a better sequence to follow, Once again you deserve more subs! Awesome vid.

@@SethAshworth Though at 1 time many years ago my hip snaps were strong, age has slowed that down too. I have not tried to do it on dry land as it is definitely going to need flexibility. I am not having issues with a traditional roll. Currently my only paddle is an old beautiful Silver Creek squirt paddle. Very little blades dont offer the support I feel needed to commit to this type of roll. I also dont feel I have as much time underwater as I once did.

@SethAshworth
@SethAshworth 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for checking out my videos! I actually do not advocate dry land rolling drills like that as I think they largely I still too much arm pushing and not enough hip/leg movement which is the key to the whole thing. Best to get on some flat water once it’s warmer.

I recently completed my first backdeck roll and for some reason I felt I was still going too deep into the water, after watching this video I have realised that I wasn't using my hips to rotate the boat over, I'm now extremely excited to get back out on the water and try to roll a bit more efficiently

Hi Seth, great video- 2 comments. Firstly, using a friend's creek boat to practise flipping on was painful- the head and hands were too high and this put pressure on my back. maybe another playboat with a low nose is more comfortable- better still- I used a paddle float/airbag to practise the "over the back" move. Secondly, although right handed ( with 45 degree feather), I roll left, which puts the wrist roll back for feather adjustment quite severe for a left hand back deck roll- should I just suck it up and develop a right hand back deck roll? Thanks Barbara
@SethAshworth
@SethAshworth 3 жыл бұрын
The offset does make it hard going the other way. It makes the paddle dive. You can get there though just takes that wrist opening up a bit further to get your paddle back to the surface.

Would love to do this - tried the practice on the side of the pool and mostly it stalls before the boat goes over my body and hurts my back so I'm guessing that either I'm doing something wrong or it puts pressure on the back that most people don't notice. Anyone else get back pain from trying this?
@SethAshworth
@SethAshworth 4 жыл бұрын
Push your feet away from you more and flatten your body out more. Back pain is likely because you aren’t pushing outward enough with your toes and trying to sit up too much throughout.

Crank your wrists harder. The offset of your paddle is [probably] causing your blade to dive under the water. I also struggle going the other way (mostly because I don’t practice enough). Interestingly even though I know to address this weakness I still haven’t!

Hi Seth- great video. I learned many years ago the C to C roll and find it tougher on my Rockstar. I watched Eric Jackson’s roll technique which looks interesting. The stern deck roll seems pretty intuitive. My shoulders get jacked up pretty easily. Is the deck role better for shoulders versus the roll technique Eric Jackson teaches in your opinion?
@SethAshworth
@SethAshworth 3 жыл бұрын
They are both pretty solid. As long as you focused on using your hips as your primary motor it will keep those shoulders good. If you do either technique poorly then it will jack your shoulders up. Hope that answers your question
@BryceShaw
@BryceShaw 6 жыл бұрын
The teaching methodology seems really good, but the roll demonstration is rough. A back deck roll should finish to the front. your elbows /arms/ paddle should form a rectangle all the way through. The straightened back arm is sinking the paddle down into the water and if it hits a rock at the tail end of the roll then you’ll have a dislocated shoulder.

First off great job. You didn't even get your hair wet or lose your hat. But it's kinda cheating to set up and roll right through. It's great for starting but realistically it's good to also practice awkward tips with the paddle in the worst position and no momentum. After reading a comment about a float I'm thinking about putting a pool noodle on the paddle shaft and I might just leave it on. Whoa just got an idea! Have an inflatable float that doubles as an emergency air supply attached to the middle of the paddle. An inflatable bladder with a snorkel mouthpiece maybe even the CO2 absorbers like the military rebreathers use. It would give endless roll attempts and could save lives especially if pinned. Just don't use it for waterfalls or you might have too much resistance and catch it in the face.
