Being the spectator

kayak rull training

I think I can imagine how my blog friend Mrs. Uhdd was feeling, when she wrote about her husband climbing in the mountains.
This photo is showing my husband enjoying himself, practicing kayak rull. In the beginning, I didn´t know that it is possible to remove the “cover” (which prevent water to come in, and therefor are locking you to the kayak) if the turn around doesn´t work.  And it doesn´t  in the beginning…

    That’s scary looking. I always wondered how you get out of those if you can’t roll. Thanks for the info.

    Better to practice in a pool than to figure it out in some white water. Looks like fun to me. :)

    I love kayaking. Never learned to roll, but I’m very good at getting out when I’m upside down . . . (lots of practice!)

    I’ve always wanted to try this, but the going under part is somewhat scary to me.

    I don’t think I could watch! At least not people I cared about. :) It does look scary!

    Davis, I am glad to know that my post could inform you, thank you for telling me. Your blog is a writers blog, I will read it and hopefully improve my english while I am enjoying your humor.

    Thank you to my good old blogfriends, for your comments to this post. I will try to post a small video soon, showing my poor husband comming up again. Correction: that wil let poor ME breath again.
