: To bring the subject back in line with rolling, have you noticed the
: different technique that waveski riders use to roll. At Santa Cruz, I
: noticed several expert waveski folks doing a roll where they extract the
: inboard leg from the stirrup and, as they come over, they fling that leg
: over to the other side of the board as a counter balance. This is what
: would see in some hand rolls where the inboard hand is thrown across the
: deck to the other side as a counterbalance. Interesting...No haven't seen that roll. Wave-ski paddlers are sadly a minority these days. Something to do with being mugged by boardriders in the parking lot. But from memory wave-skis are tricky little beasts, hard to roll and easy to flip straight back under so that might explain the leg thing.
