In Response To: Re: Are some kayaks easier to roll? (Brad Farr)

: The one thing that I noticed when trying different boats during rolling class
: was not so much hull shape , but how well I fit the boat. Too loose of a
: fit and you can't transmit your body motion thru to the boat. Before I
: installed hip pads in my own boat, I would slide off center, keeping the
: boat off balance.
Other that a seat and strong footpegs, my Guillemot is not set up for rolling. What does the outfitting for rolling consist of? Any one in the Albany, NY area that gives lessons?
Thanx, Steve
