In Response To: Sorry, Mick (sing)

: My reaction to EJ et al, as THE examples of bombproof mentality, is that it
: reminds me of some whitewater folks I have run across. They seem to think
: seakayakers can't roll, although I agree that white water folks roll more
: than most seakayakers. When I started in ww, some of the other paddlers
: were commenting oh how surprised they were that I can roll, and then
: complementing me for having a consistent roll. Why such a
: "surprise?", especially since I told them I've been seakayaking
: already for several years and like playing in surf. Kind of a complement
: but also a bit condescending. It implies some stereotyping. Likewise,
: there is stereotyping by some seakayakers of ww folks as being a bunch of
: macho, testosterone driven idiots.
Interestingly enough, on the rolling vid I posted about a little while ago they actually say "you can even roll a sea kayak". I thought that was hilarious considering that all kayaks were sea kayaks to start with. I'd love to sponsor sending that particular fellow to the Greenland National Kayaking championship, unfortunately, If I'm buying a plane ticket, it's for me.
