Kayak Rolling in Surf - 6 Things to Consider - Kayak Hipster


Listen Later

Rolling in surf can be really intimidating. We might have a great roll in a pool session, or in flat water, and then miss when we're in rough conditions. I'm hopeful some of these might help with the transition. Here's 6 things to consider when it comes to rolling in surf. 

  1. Try a roll before the session to get warmed up/get wet
  2. It can be a mental game
  3. You've got more time than you think 
  4. Slow things down and focus on basics 
  5. Rolling on both sides can help, use the force (wave encouragement) 
  6. Practice with full gear even if it's calm


There are two examples I mention where I am referencing video clips - so if you'd like to see those, here's the link to the the video:

I hope these are helpful.

Cheers!
