C to C Kayak Eskimo Roll Tips and Techniques for Beginners with Underwater angles.

First off, if you have a certified instruction for rolling in your area please take advantage of this. The roll is deceptively challenging when watching someone else do it. If you do decide to tackle it without guidance ensure you can safely perform a wet exit.

Here I break down more than just fundamentals of the "C to C" technique and dig a bit deeper into the psychological pitfalls of Eskimo rolling. This is not a comprehensive guide to all rolling exercises but an explanation of the journey you are likely to go on to getting your roll dialed in.

In the video I cover the roll from many angles including: The boat bow, paddle, aerial, underwater, and tripod. Frames were slowed down and key points were emphasized.

Best of luck and keep at it!!

Video was shot using the Go Pro 10 and the DJI mini 2.
