   Topic: Suggestion for a Roll Clinic
Posted: 28 Aug 2007 at 10:53pm |
Ok, it's official. My roll sucks. I had my second swim of the season in a class III section of the Nahatlatch.
I've gotten by for years on willpower and shoulder strength, but that is suboptimal. How about a Professor Paddle rolling clinic? I can't be the only one in this situation, and with the water mostly gone the timing is good.
There are a lot of options for location - the Split Rock takeout on the Skykomish, any park on Lake Washington, Idlewild Park on Lake Sammamish (close to my place for a BBQ afterwards). If there is sufficient interest I'll drive the project.

Bryon, it would be a good idea to practice your hand roll too!!! ![]("smileys/smiley36.gif") I may join a roll clinic. We could make it a flatwater clinic too. A flatwater session usually turns into a roll clinic anyways.

Last I saw, Gene Coulon was cosed to swimming due to too much goose poop. If you go there, paddle out a bit before flipping.

I don't mean to sound mean? I just prefer practice at a clean river and not a polluted lake.

Nooo. Next week when there aren't any skill sessions at night, so I can actually make it. Plus, Thursday night is Ladies Night at SRK and you'll have a bunch of chicks in sea kayaks running you over. It's happened before... How about next Thursday?

How do you get young chickens to paddle? How do they hold the paddles? with their beaks?
