In Response To: Re: What Jed said (Wayne Smith)

hi,

another interesting thread on rolling...

: This is one of those debates where everybody's right --- for their own
: purposes.
: My personal approach is that the more rolls and skills I know, the better all
: my rolls will be, regardless of which one I end up doing. And yet in whitewater, I take your approach, and
: use a c-to-c almost exclusively. Less time to think in that type of
: paddling.

But I wonder, is it worth while asking the question: "what roll for a particular situation?". And to narrow it down a bit, I'd like to ask:

"how should one roll a sea-kayak loaded with 2 weeks' supplies, below and on deck, after a non-voluntary capsize".

That is, does this situation present specific problems not encountered for instance when one was just out there playing, perhaps in a boat more or less designed just for play and rolling?

so, which roll would one choose to go for?
