This past year I have had the pleasure of working with many novice paddlers who wanted to learn their first Greenland roll; each experienced different challenges.

Rather than dive into the mechanics of learning your Consider moving the foot pegs to force their legs to be first roll, this article highlights the obstacles that you can in constant contact with the kayak. Remember though remove or deal with before attempting to learn to roll, that when learning we all tend to use too much pressure thereby improving your probability of success. and end up bruising our legs.
