SK/RK 103, Beginning Rolling


Description

Fugi081514 524reenterroll large 8ee3efb8 40cd 45ff bcca 8b33c9ac28e2 grandeBeginning Level Kayak Rolling Lesson (aka Greenland Roll)

We have started up rolling lesson again at Lake Sammamish State Park. 

If you capsize, re-entry rescue, and bracing skills are good but your other kayak lessons didn't include rolling, or you used to be able to roll but lost it, this is the lesson for you. This kayak rolling lesson is for both whitewater and sea kayakers.

For sea kayakers, if your bracing and hip snap are not adequate to keep yourself upright, or it takes you more than eight strokes to make a circle, we recommend taking our SK 101 & 102 or 115 courses.

NOTE: This is not a substitute for learning how to wet-exit (as some YouTube fans believe).

    If you are bringing your own kayak, please let us know which make and model you will bring when the sign-up form prompts you. Your kayak must be approved. If it does not meet rolling criteria we will ask you to rent.
