Roll, baby, Roll

Tonight I attempted the next step to rolling a kayak. I'm getting close.

I've been practicing hip snaps for the last two times I was in a boat. And I'm ready to critique my hip snap and/or move along to the next step. After working on hip snaps for an hour or so, someone finally said, "You've been hip snapping all night long, do you want to try something else?"

Of course I was like "You bet!" I still don't have a roll yet but I am one step closer. Out of about a dozen tries I had about 2 attempts that felt really good. I still have a long way to go but I do feel like I'm learning something.

My goal is to have a roll on me by spring and then I can tackle eddy lines...[insert music from Jaws] and I'm not looking forward to that. Of course, if I have a roll, it will be a little easier to correct an eddy line mistake...I hope.
