As always, a lot of people have done a lot of work a lot better than I could ever do. 

To start with; how do you get your first roll. I don't intend to teach the first roll as others can do that better. Perhaps I can help in person, but that's off the scope for the webpage. My recommendation is to find professional rolling teachers locally. If they are hard to find then get the DVD:

"This is the Roll" by Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson of Kayakways.

You can find it as a Disc as well on their site: www.kayakways.net

Excellent instructions and animations on Eiichi Eto's page Storm On

Paddlegear at Reed Chillcheater

Greenland paddles at Gram Kayak

Skin on Frame, Norwegian Wood paddles and more with Anders Thygesen at Kajakkspesialisten
Note that Anders sells Brooks Tuiliqs!
