Building confidence with rolling aids 🤝
Sometimes, having a little extra support can make all the difference.
In the Back Deck Roll section of our Rolling Course, we look at how rolling aids, like the Kajak Sport Avataq 2.0 and paddle floats, can support the learning process.
The Avataq, for example (shown in this clip), provides lots of buoyancy, making it a useful tool for exploring body position, balance and the movements involved in the roll. All before we introduce the paddle.
These tools create opportunities to practise individual movements, build confidence, and develop a better feel for the roll before gradually reducing support and working towards a reliable, unaided Back Deck Roll.
We're pleased to work with to highlight how their rolling aids can support paddlers on that journey. 🙌
And if you haven’t already checked it out, the Back Deck Roll section of our Rolling course is live in the OWW Library. ⬇️
