If you have completed our Adventure Kayaking Beginner and Intermediate Lesson Packages (or genuine equivalent), Potomac Paddlesports invites you to take advantage of our 25 years of experience teaching kayakers all types of rolls in all types of kayaks. Learning to roll is one of the most important ways you can ensure your safety, efficiency, and enjoyment as a kayaker who is "one" with a well paddled and true sea kayak narrow enough and designed to roll.

Course Description

Bracing and Rolling A Sea Kayak - Bring Your Own Kayak and Equipment

We'll start out with confirming your kayak is well padded, and that you are comfortable upside down as a review (don't attend this lesson until these are the case). Then we'll move into hip snap and bracing drills. Once you have a sense of the separate muscle mechanics, the instructor will stand in the water and move you through the different rolling positions so you can learn by feeling how to roll.
