In Response To: Re: Too mask dependant? (Dave Kaknes)

I dont recall who suggested this but it worked for me. (Thanks Shawn?) If you tilt your head back, you come up looking at the sky. Ive found this, combined with an extended paddle, is a very strong roll. As others have also pointed out, it may not be applicable if there is a danger of your face hitting the rocks, and it is harder with a high rear deck. I'm basically working on three rolls, a C to C, and extended roll face down, and an extended roll face up. Between both sides, it gives me enough to do for now. The face up is the strongest of the three, at least for me.
