Thanks Brian!

: Based on your description, I suspect that the problem is that you're letting
: the boat roll over on top of you, which tends to push you down into the
: water. To scull or balance brace easily, you need to roll the boat away
: from you, so it tends to lift you. Conciously push the boat away with your
: far side leg and arch your back and you should find it much easier to stay
: at the surface.
