What I learned in rolling today...

The old skirt fits my boat better. I like the shorter, stiffer paddle better. Part of the trick is staying in the boat. I always thought those braces were pretty comfortable, but the seemed loose today.
I hit several rolls in a row on the left without the float, but couldnt on the right. I also managed to do a reentry and roll, with the float. Either side, with the float, is coming along fine but I dont think I would be able to pull the float off the back deck, put it on, and roll up. Nor was I able to use the float by hand to get up to the air. Perhaps with the new boat itll be better. I definately will put better thigh braces in. Nor was I able to do the greenland scull to get air. More practice... My full wetsuit is not bad for paddling, I didnt notice restriction in the shoulders. I can put off getting a drytop for awhile. Not sure how it'll be in colder water though.
I'm still doing something quite wrong, as the shoulder is borderline strained. Thats why I stopped.
