Spectator Notes

Some easy rolls look impressive. Some hard ones look like no big deal. This roll is in a third category. It looks really cool, and it is quite difficult to learn. It also has historical documentation. A European missionary observed it being done in Greenland over 200 years ago. Even back then kayakers enjoyed demonstrating their skills in front of an audience. Under-the-hull-sculling may or may not have had a practical application, but most of us would agree that a roll that looks this fancy does not need one. 5 points per side.
