Kayak Rolling

Today, after church, I took part in some kayak rolling learning sessions with the Venturing Crew that I am a part of. Venturing is an off-shoot of Boy Scouts of America and involves kids ages 14-21 taking part in events that tend to be a bit more "high adventure" than those that normal boy scouts take part in. I worked with a former scout on a hand roll, which involves flipping oneself up without a paddle. I wasn't able to quite get a good roll, but I got close. Next week, if I am able to get a ride to the site, which is the Appleton YMCA, I will hopefully be able to successfully hand roll and paddle roll. We'll see.
