Where are you located?

There are pool sessions in Central AR at the UALR pool and in NW AR. You can get help at either.

Hi,

See if you can find Paul Shepard under the instructor's list. He's up in Fayetteville and if he's around and has time, I
Bet he'd help you out.

Cheers, ty

the key is the amount of style points you accumulate in the first half of the process

I can eek out a few points on eddy turns and peelouts, in a probe 14 not yet the prodigy, but once I'm over I'm swimming.I know from kayaking it's so much easier to surf and practice to get better if you're not swimming all the time.

Hi magicmike... We can definitely work on getting you rolling. I think the prodigy will be a good platform for it. Do you already have access to a pool? I think the summer pool sessions that are normally held at Wilson Park won't be starting up for at least a couple of weeks. Have you watched Bob Foote's Open Canoe Roll? It covers a LOT of good material in about 20 minutes. If not, I have a copy I can loan you.

Weekends are generally better for me. Shoot me a PM if you are interested in getting together.

Thanks,
Paul

No I want to flail along with you, if it is possible.

Kristian, is there a proposed schedule for roll sessions at wilson park, or do we have to wait for the pool to open before we find out what is available?

Thanks,
Paul
