The Kayak Eskimo Roll
While the eskimo roll is not essential to paddle the easier rivers, it is an important skill to have for anyone who is serious about white water kayaking. It can make the difference between a safe, fun filled day on the river or an unpleasant "swim" or worse.


Kayak Eskimo Roll Instruction


Note that for all Cleveland Kayak classes, we provide the kayak and all the gear you'll need. Or, if you own your own kayak and gear, we will give you a discount. Learning to roll may be undertaken at any time before, after, and/or in between taking the series of fundamentals through white water kayak classes.

  Indoor Roll Classes - Over for the Season
This semi-private session (one instructor for two students) is taught in an indoor heated pool. Before entering the water we will review the basics of the gear and the eskimo roll, then get you fitted into a boat. Once in the pool you will receive individual coaching on all aspects of how to roll. If this is your first time, we will teach you the all important wet exit. If you have some experience rolling but just need some coaching, we can provide that too.



  Outdoor Roll Classes - Over for the Season
These are semi-private sessions where you can start to learn how to execute an eskimo roll, or work on perfecting your roll. Each session is determined by the individual student. These sessions are a good way to learn or work on your roll.



Please come back and visit us for the 2010 Season.
