I had rolling lessons with Woody before. He's a marvelous coach. He taught from the basics, and adjust to learner's individual needs. I'm eagerly waiting for his intermediate classes 👍
@@Fishaholicboy For a very few, rolling comes easily. For the rest of us, not so much. I spent maybe two years trying to do the storm roll. At this point it's strong on my right side but.... I can't do it at all on my left :(
It was amazing to see all the rolls in real life.. it's just a completely different thing seeing it on a small device vs in person. I would give myself a few years to be as good as Woody :)
I appreciate seeing someone doing greenland rolling in something that is not a greenland or sea kayak, in other words in a kayak like mine. I always thought a balance brace in my kayak was not possible now I see it is.
Funny enough I was just speaking with Woody the instructor and I was saying I'd be happy if I could manage 3 of the rolls! Hopefully we'll see some progression videos :)
Hi and thanks, Fishaholicboy for sharing. Yay!!! You found an instructor, Woody who looks pretty slender... a pair of swimming goggles and a nose clip(reminds me of synchronized swimming😂) really make sense. You got this@4:12!!! A lesson learned is "Proper Training" with a partner. I didn't see any of your kayak float bags this time, though. Look forward to your next video. 🛶😎
Hi! The surface area of the GP and the EURO is actually very similar :) I'd say that biggest advantage is that it's not as tiring when you paddle with the GP.. it's easier on the shoulders. But it's all personal preference.. but one of the things that first got me interested in the GP is that it's the traditional paddle used by the Inuits before the Euroblade existed.
It's going to get expensive! haha. I dropped my Gopro 9 in the sea last year and it was painful. Now I use the GoPro 10 and Insta360 One X2. I actually have a video on how I mount my cameras here: ruclips.net/video/fh97xuL-YxY/видео.html I hope you find this useful!
Woody said, "Flexibility, you can not change it in half hour". How true! And my greatest barrier.
Wow you just hit the Lottery. When you said dizzy that brought back memories. Won't be long now.
Yes it felt like winning the lottery! I was so happy that we connected and now I can officially learn the Greenland rolls!

That’s awesome! I’m still definitely a beginner. Agree that Woody is great.. had such a great session with him and I hope to do more!
So glad that you have a mentor / coach
Im so happy haha. I hope to meet Woody much more to progress.. I have to say that it's much easier to lay on the back deck with his kayak
You've hooked up with a great person to learn with. You are going to rock at rolling.
Definitely found the right person.. and he's such a great guy too! I hope to improve my rolling but realistically, it will take time :)

Woody's rolls look so graceful and effortless. I believe in a few months, you will be as good as Woody! Thanks for the video.

wow very safe and beautiful boat. very useful uncle. best
Thank you so much
I think Woody was born without a spine judging by how easily he can bend around his boat. Awesome stuff.
He is definitely very flexible but he stretches all the time.. I'm starting to stretch more often but don't get very far
Very nice well done awesome channel see you again be safe CHEERS 🎉
Thanks! You have a great channel and I will be bingeing through them :)

I've always been told not to blame the kayak.. and I still blame the kayak! haha
Nice work! You'll be moving to some of the other 30 odd Greenland rolls soon!
Funny enough I was just speaking with Woody the instructor and I was saying I'd be happy if I could manage 3 of the rolls! Hopefully we'll see some progression videos :)
Awesome
Thanks!
😂 wow you learned it quick i may have to give a go next time on the kayak . great video with proffesional
It's only the basics :) I'm happy nonetheless.. still a long way to go.
Your getting there mate. Keep at it 💪👊👍
That's the plan.. and even more swimming for me 😂
Nice video!
Thank you!
Exciting, fun and a little scary to watch...great work. What a nice connection made through RUclips...hats off to you both ✌
It was so much fun! RUclips definitely brings us together! When I started RUclips, I never would’ve thought this would happen!
Woody, I m soooo proud of you. You can do it!
Woody is awesome! Learnt so much in such a short period

Selamat pagi, salam sukses 🙏

Thanks.. appreciate it!

haha yeah, I didn't use the float bag as I had Woody to support me through the whole process which was great!
@@Fishaholicboy Indeed.
Very nice video. New subscriber to your channel. Thanks.
Thank you! I just looked at your channel and your videos are beautiful. I'll be watching them as a subscriber!
Interesting way to start your first roll, looks so difficult, but guess it means you start with good habits.
Definitely.. already have really bad habits and needed to reset and do a proper session.
Very difficult to achieve. Impressive
I didn't manage to do any rolls without support but it was ALOT of fun.. I going to blame my kayak for not being able to advance in the rolls 😂😂
ما شاء الله 🔔🌹👍
Thanks for watching
Just curious as to what you have found the greatest advantages of the slimmer Greenland paddle over a larger one that gives you more traction ?

@@Fishaholicboy Got it and thanks ! Again, your videoing is exceptional quality. You make me want to buy a GoPro. You are going to break my bank ! 😊

@@Fishaholicboy Wow and thanks !
@@Fishaholicboy PS Get a floaty device for the new toys ! 😊
