: I was taught back then to roll by leaning forewards over the deck

: Since I have been on the forum, I have never seen reference to

: I know that you guys are all pretty laid back but is the lay back

: Should I be trying this method against what I am used to (45 years

I learned to roll in a slalom kayak and was taught the lay back roll.
It is in my opinion easier than a c to c as you use your body movement in a fluid sweep to right yourself, but you do end up still having to sit up - opportunity to clear your eyes.
