Or that you're not playing in rough enough water. LOL

In certain conditions, Any paddler, regardless of their bracing skills will need to roll or wet exit. And of course the roll is often used to duck under/through a large breaking wave to prevent injury!!

For the Inuit, the roll was often a life saver. For us modern folk in our thermal protection, while not necessarily a life-saving skill (although it could very well be) it's certainly nicer to stay in the boat rather than have to get back in!!

Cheers,

Sean
