: Seems Don, Tim & Ed were right, I was feeling a little too ambitious
: after my first session. Better to stick with one that I can do, and
: work with it until its bulletproof. I was hitting about 90% of those this
: weekend, although they weren’t particularly graceful. Mike’s suggestion of
: slapping the water with the paddle to test its position worked well for
: me. Also tried rolling up in slow-motion. I didn’t make it upright, but
: it’s a lot easier to break the maneuver down into a series of actions that
: way, to see what’s working and what’s not.

Seem's you're well on your way and if you practise all summer you'l notice a marked improvement.You will have many moments of triumph when you feel your roll is close to bombproof and then the next time things will get sloppy and you'll suffer disapointment.This is normal to have periods of regression so don't let them bother you too much,just try to critique your own mistakes and practise,practise,practise.
Still scouting for trout in Southern Ontario.
