【Fong's Roll is the Non-Hip-Snap kayak roll, that enables people with lower limb disabilities to roll a capsized kayak with their hands】
This is the 3rd video of the Fong's series, for sharing my teaching experience in an innovative skill (Fong's Roll) with coaches, who are interested in teaching kayaking to the people with disabilities.
When capsizing, without any external rescue, it would be helpful if you could do a kayak roll. Rolling is a self-rescue technique, through lower limbs to Hip Snap & rotate a capsized kayak.　However, for people with lower limb disabilities, it was technically impossible in Kayak Rolls.
Fong's Roll is an innovative kayak skill, using hands instead of feet to right a kayak (probably a breakthrough in the kayaking skills). Fong's Roll was developed in 2001 by Coach Alex W.K. FONG (Level 3 coach from Hong Kong Canoe Union, coach no. KL3-023)(recently reshot). The Feature of Fong's Roll is that without any help from attaching devices, the upper extremity movement substitutes for rolling knee (hip flick) in tradition rolls as a source of rotational force to right a capsized kayak. Hopefully, this technical breakthrough may further expand an inclusive environment to people with physical disability in kayaking.
**This skill is applicable in HK sea condition. For safety's sake, it is recommended being trained by a qualified instructor/ coach to get the best training effect & to reduce the risk of injuries.
