Learn how to eskimo roll!
Rolling is an essential skill for every kayaker. It's possible to kayak for years without knowing how to roll - just cross your fingers and pray to whichever gods take your fancy that the next wave won't flip you upside down and dump you ignobly in a seething rapid!
Having a bomb-proof roll makes your kayaking more fun, makes river trips safer, keeps you drier and impresses your friends, so there's no time like the present to learn!
