Introductory Rolling
 Our instructors will lead you through a series of steps designed to build confidence and make rolling as easy as possible. Working on the roll will also improve your bracing skills and thereby decrease your risk of capsize, allowing you to have more fun on the water!
Our Introductory Rolling Classes are designed both for paddlers who have never attempted rolling and for those who have done some work with the roll and are still not there. For those looking to advance their roll to the off-side or learn additional rolling techniques, we recommend a private lesson. If you wish to practice your skills during the winter without any instruction, attend a pool practice session.
During the fall and spring we hold our rolling classes in the pool at Hanscom Air Base in Lexington (where we also offer pool practice sessions without instruction).
During the summer, we hold our rolling classes in the clear water and sandy beaches of Lake Cochituate in Natick.

Formal Introductory Instruction Recommended
We recommend, but do not require, that students take our Introduction to Kayaking, Introductory Trip, or private lesson before participating in our Pool Rolling Class.
If you are not comfortable performing intermediate skills like sweep strokes, boat lean, braces, assisted rescues, and self-rescues, you'll be shocked by how much your skills improve by taking our Intro. to Kayaking course or its equivalent. While the name says "Introduction," this course covers many intermediate and advanced skills and will greatly benefit anyone who has never had formal instruction. We guarantee it! If you have questions, please contact us. Be Prepared to Wet Exit
Students who have not performed a wet exit may sign up for our Pool Rolling Class but must understand that they will be required to perform a wet exit at the beginning of class and that the class involves repeated immersion of the head and body while remaining in the kayak. Our instructors will teach and demonstrate the proper procedures beforehand. If you have questions, please contact us. Registration & Cancellation Policies for Classes, Trips, and Tours
