: Robert,
: That was Mark Young, he came to SSTIKS a total newbie. He had a beatiful
: kayak that he built, but hadn't paddled it yet. He did improve a little
: bit.
He looked like he was having a great time, Mike, as good a time as I had at R2K6 and I did have a wonderful time. 
: Below is a shot of Tim Matson, at SSTIKS last year, trying to master the
: Pruden technique.
No wait, he's doing his own thing. If he was using my technique he would have already bailed and come up wondering what was wrong with the kayak. I'll be practicing trying to roll again this summer during those sultry hot prairie days when I am not working during the weekends. Last year, I managed to get 3/4 of the way around but just couldn't snap the hips enough to come all the way up. Probably didn't help that my seat was loose (broken hip support). I hope to have that issue repaired before I get out there on the water again.
