Kayak Rolling

Kayak rolling is a technique used by kayakers to restore their kayak to an upright position after capsizing, without exiting the boat. It involves using precise body movements and paddle control to perform a controlled, fluid motion that flips the kayak back upright while the paddler remains seated. This skill is especially important in whitewater and ocean kayaking, enabling paddlers to stay on the water longer and recover quickly from flips or capsizes. Mastering the roll increases safety by reducing the need for external rescue and helps kayakers maintain confidence and efficiency in challenging conditions.
