Storm On!

Its been a while since I took any video to have a look at my form, so a quick check before going off to a KayakWays intensive weekend next week. This was an opportunity also to get some evidence of my roll to send to Eiichi Ito for his Storm On website so that I can qualify as a Stormtrooper. Happy to say it still works but as usual I see plenty of room for improvement!

  1. Room for improvement? I don't see it - 10 out of 10 from me!

    1. Thanks Tony - I need to keep looking down and keep my face in the water until the boat is righted. Could get lower... I'll wait and see what Cheri says next week!

  3. That's a very weird website! Is it a cult, or kayaking turning into a martial art?

    1. Eiichi Ito is the president of Qajaq Japan and it is affiliated to Qaannat Kattuffiat, but Eiichi has focussed on the Storm roll on his own site and made some amazing animations in his attempts to explain how it works.
