...is still worth a 1000 words. I remember my first lesson when learning to roll. The instructor told me that I was lifting my head too soon. I insisted I wasn't. He videoed me, I watched it and I was lifting my head too soon.

Now, I carry my camera when I teach, as I did this past weekend. It was only after looking at herself in the picture that she had to agree that she was, in fact, putting her left shoulder at risk.

If a picture says a thousand words, what does a movie say? :-)
And just like you I used to lift the head too soon but even if confronted with hard evidence there was little I could do about it.
One day I met somebody that could really address that and finally thought me how to roll using my body, not my paddle. The head now follows much later and my rolls have improved, a lot.
Well put, Gnarly. Video, of course, requires a bit more (at least by bulk) of equipment; so, I carry a small D10 waterproof camera in my pfd...almost always.
Silbs, doesn't the D10 take videos too?
I only use waterproof compact cameras for all my videos. Not Hollywood quality but so aren't my subjects :-)
It does, and doing videos with 5 students and a jam-packed 2 day curriculum made it impractical. Good thought.
