Registration now open for SUMMER 2025 

If a date or venue is not available, please contact us if you have 6 or more people in your area interested in a private group course.

Learning to roll a kayak is one of the most rewarding experiences as a kayaker. The ultimate goal is to have a consistent roll that requires little effort and is done with ease! James Manke will guide you through the physics of rolling a kayak. Learn a reliable lay back sweep roll, likely one of the most common sea kayak rolls. The first hour will be spent on-land discussing the physics of rolling followed by a demo and a couple of hours in the water working in pairs. By pairing up this allows each student to get a chance to also learn how to teach which is a great way to retain information.
