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.

Start out with one or more of our indoor pool sessions and then join us during the summer for practice sessions on the lake.


Kayak Eskimo Roll Instruction


Note that for all Cleveland Kayak classes, we provide the kayak and all the gear you'll need. Learning to roll may be undertaken at any time before and/or after taking the white water kayak courses.

  Indoor Roll Classes
This session is taught in an indoor heated pool. Before entering the water we will warm up with some stretching exercises to increase flexibility, and 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.

1.5 hours Cost: $40 (Semi-private Instruction)          To register by check click here.

  Outdoor Roll Practice Sessions
Cleveland Kayak would be happy to set up an outdoor roll practice session in the evening on a week day at either Bradstreet Landing on the west side, or LaDue Reservoir, on the east side. So just email us, or call us and let us know your preference on location, and day of week/date. If there is sufficient interest, we will set something up. These sessions are a good way to work on your roll.
