> I think I found an instructor down here, he rolled a canoe!!

Not exactly novel or new. Over at UMCP where I was learning to roll and paddle they would set the pool up for kayaks and canoe rolling sessions one evening per week. One of the fascinating things to watch imo was a female olymic kayaker practicing her rolls with her transatlantic canoe, loaded with gear. Thing barely fit in the pool. We'd all clear out, and she'd roll it from one end of the pool to the other, and back again, until she got tired. Almost as impressive, but much less dramatic, was Barry's kayak rolls, where without a paddle, and his arms crossed at his chest, he'd commence to rolling his kayak. He could also jump his kayak out of the pool.
