Reality Check

I thought it time to see what I could do on 'the list'. I have enjoyed learning each roll for its own sake, but thought maybe it was time for an audit and a think about progression rather than random selection of the next roll to try. The butterfly roll doesn't figure on the list, neither does the front to back norsaq or hand roll (too easy?) so I'll work on the official forms of norsaq and hand roll next along with the elbow roll. I think they will be different in the Tahe Greenland, maybe a bit tricky until I sort out the masik and outfitting around the cockpit and at the bulkhead for my feet.

The problem is that there are so many, if you want to work on a new roll there is not enough pool time to run through them all, making it likely that some will become less than secure in the interval.

Some of them I just haven't tried. I thought the cross arm roll would be tough but actually it was fine.

  1. Is a "Walrus pull" really anything to do with rolling?

    1. The walrus pull is more to do with bracing when being pulled sideways. Not sure you could roll out of it! Luckily I don't have to go walrus hunting anytime soon, though I think there would be a few willing volunteers prepared to do the pulling.

  2. That list could keep a person busy for a long time!

    1. I reckon it will keep me going for as long as I can get in a boat - its a bit like painting the Forth Rail bridge ("Painting the Forth Bridge" is a colloquial expression for a never-ending task.

  3. How do the "official" forms of norsaq and hand roll compare to what I've seen you do already?

  4. The rolls on the list are described as starting on the front deck finishing on the front deck, and, starting on the back deck finishing on the back deck, and, starting on the back deck finishing on the front deck. I do starting on the front deck and finishing on the back deck - the only variation not on the list! Anyway its a moot point at the moment as I get used to the new boat and wait for my tuilik to be altered.
