Hello Dean,
I consider this comparison very valuble.
We don't get many accurate comparisons very often here.
(exept those comparisons posted by the person who have tried it all
& knows everything better than anybody, the one & only GR !! )
I would assume the pygmy's are harder to roll, which explains why
I am having hard times with my coho.
I also assume I should keep practicing because it can be done.
thx alot,
Erez

: Outer Island over the winter, and had no problem rolling the O.I. upon
: first taking it out in the spring. In fact, I had totally forgotten the
: much-emphasized 'hip snap', and rolled up with ease without it. Laying
: sideways in the water, sculling, and bringing myself back up is easy, and
: I haven't had much instruction and haven't practiced much, either
: (although I need to practice these maneuvers in wavier conditions...)
