Not on a roll yet

| 1 Comment

I had another session with the Kayak this week where I attempted to un-invert the Kayak.

My previous attempt usefully produced an entire series of talks, but was spectacularly rubbish in its attempt to roll the kayak. Basically I was upside down under a Kayak without any clue of what was where, why or how to correct it; all the time wistfully missing the Oxygen I'd previously been taking for granted.

However this week I progressed to being upside down under water knowing both why and broadly-speaking, what to do about it. I can now reconnect with the surface ... and my respirational gas of choice, even if I can't actually become upright and smugly paddle forth.

I believe I am now hip-flickingly close to my post-inversion dream, oh Yes!

My thanks to Adventure Plus for their welcome and help.

Ah the hip flick...It's all about the hip-flick, try doing support strokes over and over using virtually ONLY the hip-flick and see if that helps...
