: I know this is hardly building related but there seems little
: action in other parts of the forum.
: When (a long time aqgo) I was a strip of a lad, I built a couple of
: SOF boats and did a load of white water (river) kayaking.
: I was taught back then to roll by leaning forewards over the deck
: and sweeping the paddle from the bow.
: Since I have been on the forum, I have never seen reference to
: anything other than layback rolling.
: I know that you guys are all pretty laid back but is the lay back
: method so much better (don't say ask the wife!)
: Should I be trying this method against what I am used to (45 years
: ago). I may be old but I'll try anything once.
: What are the pros and cons?

I learned to roll in a slalom kayak and was taught the lay back roll.
It is in my opinion easier than a c to c as you use your body movement in a fluid sweep to right yourself, but you do end up still having to sit up - opportunity to clear your eyes.
