ACA Kayak Rolling

The best rescue is the one that never happens, the second best rescue is the one that happens the quickest and keeps you safest while minimizing your exposure to the environment, and this rescue is the roll!

This course will help you improve your underwater comfort, familiarize you with the mechanics of the kayak roll and help you work towards achieving the ultimate self rescue.

We will start the evening with an introduction, cover some basic safety rules and then stretch out and discuss some dry land rolling concepts. The remainder of our evening will be spent in the pool working with a partner or getting one on one instruction. Our goal tonight is to get you to understand the mechanics of a kayak roll and gain underwater comfort in your kayak.
