Help needed with saddle height in Spanish Fly

Hi, I have been paddling a wheelboy for a while now, and got my roll sorted after chopping the saddle down to 5inch (13cm)


I recently got a spanish fly, and while the handling has been fine I have been struggling a lot with my roll.
I have the saddle cut down to 8.5 inches (22cm) but i am still struggling to roll


Should I cut the saddle in the spanish fly down even more, if so what would you recommend.

Or should i leave the saddle how it is and work on strengthening my roll?

What Craig said. I Just checked mine - 9.5 inches and rolls fine.

Whats your outfitting and strap setup in the spanish fly like?

Lower the saddle much more and you'll start to hit the gunnels coming up, making your roll forever impossible.
