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 summer, we hold our rolling classes in the clear water and sandy beaches of Lake Cochituate in Natick.
During the fall and spring we hold our rolling classes in the pool at Wayland Community Pool in Wayland (where we also offer pool practice sessions without instruction).

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!

Students who have not performed a wet exit may sign up for our Rolling Class - Pool 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.
