You would, of course, be talking about rolling with a Greenland stick. This gal was working with a Euro paddle. There, too, some find it easier to finish the modified sweep stroke with a lay back. See how Derrick and Michael got us off track ? :)Silbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561606347525787459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25407346.post-90934355716675496962008-08-07T05:44:00.000-05:002008-08-07T05:44:00.000-05:00The portable masik sounds interesting.Are layback ...The portable masik sounds interesting.<BR/><BR/>Are layback rolls more efficient? They seem more forgiving. But what about forward recovery rolls?Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821886716631273846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25407346.post-62926744329918230142008-08-06T11:02:00.000-05:002008-08-06T11:02:00.000-05:00Thanks, Suzette.

If I'm in an unfamiliar kayak or just having an off day I slide forward as far as I can which makes laying back and hand rolling fairly easy (once you know what you're doing) then work my way back once I realize what the issue was that has holding me up.derrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043848354762540899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25407346.post-88123278964694089082008-08-06T09:23:00.000-05:002008-08-06T09:23:00.000-05:00Exactly so, Michael.

It does two things for me: makes laybacks easier; helps get one's body out perpendicular to the boat for balance bracing and, as you mention, increases the force required to right the boat and complete the roll.
