I used to teach whitewater canoeing, but a never had the kayak bug until a few years ago. My friend Hunt tried hard to teach me the eskimo roll, but as of today, no good.
I really do want to learn it, as a good "combat roll" is needed before someone can really do decent whitewater kayaking. I've had luck roaring through waves, doing class III drops and surfing som small waves. When I screw up, wet exit.
So here I sit, a perpetual advanced beginner kayaker. Maybe I should stick to canoeing.
At least I'm not alone. Check out this link and it's attached video, where all of the kayakers make it look so easy...
