Kayak Rolling, a leading authority draws on his years of experience to help you learn to roll, improve the roll you already use, and develop a bombproof roll. Taking an easy-to-follow, full-color visual approach to learning through clear photo sequences, Loel Collins presents exercises so you can feel whats required and prepare for the transition from a controlled setting such as a pool to the variables of moving and open-water environments.
