White Water Kayaking is a fun, adrenaline rush water sport. I can compare it to a roller coaster ride in water that has a mind of its own. It is very important to learn how to read the water in order to stay out of trouble be it stuck on rocks or stuck in a class VI rapid, which can be worrisome. I love the adrenaline rush that is associated with kayaking. I self taught myself how to roll and just improved it with practice. How did you learn how to roll?

I have learned through experience the key to getting the kayak to roll is all in the snap of your hips while rolling up to give the boat that extra boost to sit back right side up. ">
