New to this forum,new to oc1,new to this smartphone thing. Will pay for lessons in rolling my prodigy.any help appreciated.

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.

Fayetteville.

Where's ol' Roy White when you need him?

In West Fork

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

Thanks ty- l'll give that a shot

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

Thanks so much Paul.I'll drop you a line -M-

Don't keep it secret. I would like to join in the fun if possible.

Kru-want to watch an old man flail do ya? I say the more the merrier. Let
me get ahold of Paul and set something up.

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
