Roll Practice NW Arkansas

[RobM]

Roll, Roll, Roll!! There hasn't been any roll sessions up here for the NW Chapter in a while, so I thought I'd open the subject up plus invite anyone wanting to practice there roll to come out on Thursday evenings at 5 pm. I will be going out there for 5 more weeks as long as the weather hold out for us. Hopefully by then we will have some indoor pool roll sessions.

The Place would be dead end on hwy 264 in springdale at beaver lake (open water is the name I always called it yet that's not the official name). If anyone needs further direction just pm me on here. It has been fairly calm on Thursdays. This is a leaderless group of common adventures meeting up to practice our rolls.

I Started rolling 50 times 3 times a week to improve my roll to make it bullet proof (thanks to lorraine's suggestion ). After I get done with my 50 rolls. I will be glad to help anyone needing it or to sit back & critique your roll or better take a video of u on your phone then You can watch yourself then critique your own rolls too. Helps a lot more than you would think.

I will be going to the Ford tomorrow around 4ish to surf & roll too yet that wouldn't be a every week same place kinda plan, just tomorrow.

Hope to see you there!

I'll be there, Rob! Things came up today so I didn't make it out to the Ford in the morning like I wanted but the boat's loaded so I was already planning on coming out on Monday. And thanks for the roll sessions on Thursday. I'll be there too. Alan from Bella Vista helped me on Labor Day at the Ford and I'm ready to nail it.

Thanks for that phone suggestion Rob, I've been thinking about all the go pros around , but that's a simple fix.

I'll be at the Ford periodically (usually 3-4 times weekly; about the only day I never make it is Wednesday). I like the idea of 50 rolls. Happy to work with anyone on improving the roll.

Hey kayakAr, yes I'm out at the ford 3-4 times a week too. We are going to the lake for a little cleaner water. It's not a pool yet a bit better than the Illinois river. See you out at the ford, hope to see you some nights out at the lake too. Yes 50 rolls three times a week really improves your roll no matter how good of a roller you are.

[Robbie]

I'm really looking forward to getting in 150 rolls per week as soon as I get one down once a week!
I'll be there with my two boys on Thursdays. Could use better directions).
I was at the ford yesterday, don't know if I can make it today. Will be there tomorrow though. My boys have kayaks to roll. I'm still looking for a third for me so let me know if anyone has any leads.

Hey Robbie, we'd be glad to have you out there . You will turn off the bypass going toward hickory creek ( this will be 264 ) then follow this road till it dead ends at the lake. You will pass the hickory creek turn off yet just stay on 264. If any other questions just call me at 479-957-8118. I will be at the ford around 11:00 am Thursday too yet we will be rolling at the lake Thursday evening. I can bring a extra boat too yet don't have a extra paddle. If someone else is coming out that has a extra paddle hopefully they'll see this & post up. See you there.

Missed you today Curtis hope to see you Thursday.

Thanks Rob. After I sent that post I remembered that my wife is have surgery on Wednesday, so may not make it Thursday after all. Rule number one: Take care of your woman.
But hope to be out there the next Thursday anyway. I'll let you know if I still need to borrow a boat by then. I really appreciate the offer!

I completely understand Robbie, I hope your wife gets better soon. Just post up next week . Places may change out to the ford for the next week with all the interest of people over towards Siloam tha has. Wanted to take advantage of practicing there roll but we will see how the lake goes first this week.

[RobM]

Roll Practice Thursday has changed locations. . This week it will be out at the Siloam springs kayak park ( the ford ) . If anyone would rather do the lake please post up. The change has been due to resent request & interest to go to the ford instead of the lake.
