We offer two hour roll sessions designed to refine basic whitewater kayaking skills. With a private kayak-dedicated pool and skilled ACA certified instructors,We have the flexibility to focus on any skills you are interested in working on, from the basics of a wet-exit to flat water freestyle moves. So, take a Do it ! roll session and finally master the roll you have been struggling with, improve your technique, or just regain your confidence before heading out onto the river.
Here at Do it !, our Sea session is dedicated to teaching kayaking. Most paddlers find that one of the following core curriculum Roll sessions fit their needs:
Roll Session Level 1: This session is for whitewater paddlers that either have no experience in a kayak or have only been in a kayak a few times and do not yet have a roll. In this session, we begin by making sure that students can effectively execute a wet-exit (exiting the kayak while it is upside down in the water). We then work on developing an understanding of the fundamentals of the C-to-C kayak roll, by stepping through a standard progression including hip snaps, T-rescues, and the dynamics of the roll. Students will benefit from hands on instruction throughout this session, as the instructor is in the pool with the student helping them through each step of the progression.
Roll Session Level 2 (the roll): This session is for whitewater kayakers that have previous experience or instruction with the roll but are not yet able to execute a successful roll regularly. In this session, our instructors provide hands on instruction and coaching to help students master the individual components of the C-to-C roll, enabling students to practice their rolls much more comfortably and more confidently.
Roll Session Level 2 (the brace): While many paddlers dedicate lots of energy and importance to the roll, we find that the real trick to kayaking is staying up-right in the first place. For this reason, we believe that solid bracing techniques are essential to the success of any kayaker. In this session, we introduce and practice the different techniques needed to keep your kayak right-side up using both the low brace and the high brace. We also work to ensure that students can recognize the different advantages and disadvantages of the two important braces.
