if the boat's upside down, and it gets flipped back upright, it's not necessarily a roll... OK.... so does this also mean all my swims, on that side aren't swims either? ...so too extrapolate, using this description - those few offside rolls, must not of counted either... because the blade was also on that side of the boat... mentally I can frame this somehow, but me bruised arse begs to differ!
let's not get mired down by semantics about this Phil... but of course i realize you folks in 'Bama are a little slow on the uptake
(j/k)
i'm attempting to get folks to realize that their low or high
brace and a
righting brace or
righting pry are the common stumbling steps to getting up and back over in regards to most peoples
roll from my vantage point.
i see a lot of folks get about halfway up... then
something happens and they end up flopping right back over... on their
"on" side???
once these steps have been overcome and are second nature the rest of the
roll seems to happen more naturally and people are usually ready to get to the next stage... which is going
offside,
setting up and
rolling back up on their
"on"side.
also... if you flip over on your
"on" side it's highly unlikely that you are truly going to go into a full
roll set up to get back to the surface or
right yourself... you'll be doing some variation of a
brace or
righting move which is in fact the last two finishing stages of the
roll.
get it?
