New Rolling Course

The Rolling a Sea Kayak Online Course has been the most challenging course to film and edit so far.  We wanted to create a course that went further than just showing you how to roll.  There are lots of YouTube videos out there of how to roll but they are missing a key element.  How do you learn the roll.  In this course we give you stages to the learning process and tech you how to work with a partner to develop your roll.  

We must have rolled a thousand times during the filming to capture every angle.  We filmed the course in 8 different shoots at a variety of locations.  The underwater filming was particularly challenging but when watched in 8 x slow motion it really shows the details you need to see to understand the motion.  

The angles with the drone gave us a new perspective on the roll and enabled us to show the path of the paddle and the motion of the body clearly.  Unfortunately the drone went for a bit of a swim during the filming and so we had to finish off the course with a new drone.  

Working with Rachel and Dirk from How We Roll Kayaking in Falmouth was amazing.  They are so passionate about rolling and it really comes across in the Greenland lesson.  

We plan to add more lessons to the rough water roll section to the course early next year.  We are already talking about a full Greenland rolling course in the future as well.

The video is an overview of the roll that is early on in the course to give you the whole of the skill before we start to break it down into its parts and develop the individual techniques.
