At least in calm water.

Does your roll ever fail when you get dumped in rough water?
And if you do get pushed back in, do you have to set up for another roll?

What if I told you that failing a roll doesn’t mean you have to end up upside down setting up for another try…knowing full well it’s just as likely to fail.

I’m Paulo and this is Dancing with the sea. It’s for those of us who want more ease and finness, and less feeling like it’s hard and I don’t feel safe.

The kayak is not a tool to help you conquer. It’s to show us that we belong to nature.

In this video, I'm going to share with you the secrets to rolling a sea kayak in waves, and how you can keep your head above water even in the roughest of conditions.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn the skills that will take your kayaking to the next level.

Having a good solid roll that works in rough conditions can actually expand your paddling range… allowing you to visit those remote locations, and keep yourself much safer.

Here’s a very common problem I see.
And there’s a good reason why people do this.

It works. It’s deceivingly easy…at least in calm water.

Can you see why this puts you in a vulnerable position when rolling in rough water?

Let’s play it in slow motion.

Can you see it now? Right here. What if a wave was to push you back over at this exact moment?

When it comes to rolling a sea kayak in waves, the key is to avoid laying on the back deck too early.

What you want to do instead is keep your back flat on the water.

Keep rotating the kayak until it’s almost upright.

Notice there is no vulnerable position anymore.

When you don’t stay rotated with your back on the water for as long as possible, you can more easily get pushed back underwater.

What you want to do instead, is stay rotated with your back flat on the water. For as long as you can.

If a wave pushes you over at any point, you’re still on the surface. You’re still breathing.

You can relax.

And there is something else going on.

You’re not rolling blind.

You can sense the motion of the waves.

You can time the next attempt to make it as easy as possible.

Rolling your kayak is like a dance with the waves? It's all about rhythm, timing, and understanding your partner - the water.


Does this make sense? Does this look more comfortable.


If yes, what you want to do next is learn to move your pelvis in a way that allows you to get this kind of rotation.

I’ll show you what else this will unlock for you in a moment, but first I want to offer you something.
