Big D's Rolling Classes - First Private Class - $50.00
Want to learn to roll? Sign up for a class.
A rolling class is usually one hour long and costs $50. Subsequent classes are $35 each.
One-On-One is the way to maximize learning.
So that is what we do. (Of course, if you want to split your time with
another person we can work with you on that.) At Big Ds almost all of our
rolling classes are one-on-one. That is what you should expect, unless we advertise differently. (So far, the only times we have taught groups was when we were teaching for someone else.)
We teach you what works for you. We do not force a style or technique we like. Instead we get you started, watch what your body is doing and then teach a specific roll that works with what your body already does.
Some students most easily learn a sweep to a lay back position. If that is you, that is what you will learn. Other students most easily learn a screw roll into a sitting position. If that fits your body's kinesiology, then that is what we will teach you. And other students most easily learn a direct hip snap to the surface.
Those students will probably learn a C-to-C roll. However, if you have your heart set on learning a specific roll, we will teach that - no matter
what your body wants - no matter how long it takes.
Suppose you can already roll. That is super. Kayaking should be
ambidextrous, can you roll on both sides? If not, sign up for a class. Want to make your roll take less effort? Sign up for a class. Want to learn a specific new roll? Sign up for a class. Want to learn to make your roll
