In Response To: More technique queries (Jo Lefler)

Another way to practice parts of the roll are to work on the hip snap in shallow water using your paddle in lieu of the bow of someone's boat. This also works for learning how to edge. Putting a paddle float on the end of your paddle and using that to help with the C to C is another way to do this. Doing this alone can lead to bad habits (muscling your roll vs. hip snap) so be carefull and keep your arms tucked in to protect your shoulders.
