: Bill's right. I'm about 5' 11" but I'm a bit (ahem)
: "rotund". As for framing it.. I prolly should have
: taken the picture before being in the pool all night so that I
: would have been more beautifuler.

: My biggest issue comes from complete lack of body-coordination. I'm
: really a one-trick pony. Even the down/ups, working on my hip
: snap was a bit of a joke. BUT, it was a start and I'll keep at
: it.

: Here's a couple of videos (hopefully you can see them):
: Dubside hand-rolling:

: Dubside rolling w/ paddle beneath the boat:

: Bad video of Maligiaq & our club president rolling:

I'd met Dubside before, so knew he wasn't exactly huge in stature, still really nice guy, size matters little.
