Author: WhiteWaterWheatSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 5:48pmMatt, I just want to chime in real quick to your roll argument. Yes, having a roll makes kayaking much more enjoyable for you and your friends. But in the end, everybody swims. It will happen, and learning to swim in moving water is a vital skill. A skill best learned in class II rather than class IV or V. Moving water is ...

Author: Matt HaverlySubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 6:00pmWhiteWaterWheat - Yeah - not all basic safety skills like wet exits, bracing, and rolls transfer directly from pool to river. But the approach should be you should approach the river with caution knowing aspects will be different and require more strategy to keep the consequences low and the fun high. But at the same time, If...

Author: outdoorjunkie88Subject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 5:34pmive never been to a pool session and paddle 4-5. first two years of learning was solo because i was living in michigan where their isn't much of a boating community. Best place to learn is on the rivers and a little youtube can give you some extra courage.

Author: BrianPSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 5:11pmMatt, You have a good point about wet exiting with new gear. I think D4 had an experience with toaster mitts he wouldn't like to repeat. I think rolling should be learned fairly early on, but getting a feel for the water with braces and strokes is crucial to learning a good roll. I have no problem taking people out on easy water wi...

Author: Matt HaverlySubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 2:21pmAnything that can be learned in a pool, should be learned in a pool prior. Be it a roll, brace, wet exit, basic strokes, or even just setting up your boat well. It might only take a couple pool sessions, possibly even just one. Even with wet exits, you have to not just know them in the pool. With wet exits, you have to be abl...

Author: megspkSubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 2:00pmI don't think you should deny people river time if they don't have a roll. I think you should definitely make good choices about safe rivers to take them on, but the roll doesn't come immediately for everyone. Plus it's good practicce rescuing boats, people, and gear. Kayaking without a roll really motivates people to learn how to ...

Author: Matt HaverlySubject: Solo BoatingPosted: 24 Feb 2016 at 12:56pmMegspk, I know your main topic for this thread is solo boating but you bring up another one - having a solid roll (in your suggestions). In my opinion, you shouldn't even be on the river if you don't have a solid roll, regardless of if you say you never tip. I'm hard line on that. Before I did my first river run I had 100 pe...
