The ultimate self-rescue technique, a Bomb Proof Roll is the Holy Grail of kayak skills to be learned. Our Step-by-Step teaching approach has helped many paddlers achieve their goal to roll a Sea Kayak. Together we will explore and discover the progressions that will work best for your individual needs. So if you like the idea of purposely tipping over to see if you can come back up, don't mind getting wet and like the idea of hanging out up upside down have we got an experience for you!

Note: Best results are usually achieved when rolling is taught as a private course with 2- students per session in two to three sessions.
