206 - Edging, Bracing and Rolling - Bellingham, Wa.
The best roll is the one you never have to use. We cover stability and balance through a range of motion and then introduce the paddle as back up support.
As you develop proficiency and ability, you'll take your kayak edge and bring it back when you've gone too far.
These skills and knowledge are also an excellent primer for rolling!
