OK Guys, I have seen the various footage of the Worlds but who has some decent CU Fly video footage out there...? Video is good it will help me learn!!
As a fairly new owner of one I am keen to see what people can do in them...

Look forward to seeing what you can come up with....

You'd have to know the inside joke that goes along with this between Dale and I.

Not shy, no good vid of CU Fly. Cheap vid here

A few pics here of an easy play wave 10 minutes from home (Champlain bridge on the Ottawa in Gatineau/Ottawa area) and 1 of baby face

I much prefer pics of people running stuff then playing(borring for the ones watching !) So haven't put much effort in documenting CU Fly stuff..

Man! That Smerda video is awesome!
I have only paddled the CU Fly once. I had a hard time completing my roll because I kept hitting that very tall cockpit rim. OUCH!

I have never had that problem....Yet!!

Two short clips of me, First clip is standard on side roll & second is Backdeck offside roll...

Wet,

Just curious... in the first video clip, are you rolling up on your high-brace sweep (instead of going to a low-barce set-up)? It's hard to see you paddle blade, but it seems like you roll up using "a kayak" roll?

I'm coming from bigger OCs where I always roll with a low brace, but in the C-1 maybe I should try some other rolls.

p.s. Why do you call one roll on-side and the next off-side? In both clips don't you flip to your off-side and roll on your on-side, so what's the dif (other than the back deck, which I get)?

PY.

Yes your right!!
This will probably upset the purests, but...When I learnt to roll I used to use the back face std low brace.....however I seem to have developed a liking for the powerface of my blade. I can roll either way, I choose not to....most of the time.
There are a few resons for this, when rolling up you want as much catch on the blade as you can get....On a curved blade that comes from the power face not the back.
It also helps me not to smack the Gunwhale with the elbow on my T grip hand.

The main reason though, it just feels right and works...Try it...I now roll my Zoom the same way and checking another clip even a Freedom solo....
