another thing I find that helps (when I remember it) is to try to look for the logo on the other side of the boat while I am sweeping my head across the airbag. That keeps my head low and really seems to help the roll.

As for waiting 5 seconds, that can be an awfully long time. If you do flush into calmer water in the 5 seconds, that can help the roll. Then again, rolling in a hole can be easier as the hole can bring you around.

Good luck with it.
