A must for the kayaker who lives to surf! -- .
From the Back Cover
Paddling on the edge - the ability to hold the kayak level or on edge using knee pressure, to maintain balance using body lean, and when needed to shift weight forward or backward are the skills fundamental to even simple maneuvers such as bracing, upstream ferries, and the Eskimo roll. The Bombproof Roll and Beyond! is an introduction to edge control and balance for paddlers from the beginner to the most expert. Author Paul Dutky shares his whitewater experience to help paddlers master those techniques that will enable them to surf, to playboat, and to run even the most challenging whitewater safely and with confidence. (8 1/2 x 11, 176 pages, diagrams)

This review is from: The Bombproof Roll and Beyond (Paperback)
The Bombproof roll and beyond is an essential book for any novice or intermediate kayaker. This book does and excellent job of explaining through both text and illustrations the different steps involved in just about any roll imaginable (c to c, sweep, back deck, hand roll). It also provide excellent tips for identifying and correcting problems with rolls. An outstanding book. An essential in any kayaker's library.

Ditto,
By Redbear52 (Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bombproof Roll and Beyond (Paperback)
I bought this book around the time it first came out about nine years ago or so. Not only is it useful for learning the kayak roll, the author also covers "old school" playboating maneuvers such as wave surfing, side-surfing in holes, 360's, enders, and pirouttes. The illustrations are diagramatic and especially helpful. Rolling techniques included are the "C-to-C" or snap roll, the sweep roll, back deck rolls, hands rolls as well as rolling stategies and exercises. Definitely one of the most helpful kayaking technique books I have read.

bombproof book,
By "dharmaroad" (darwin, nt Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bombproof Roll and Beyond (Paperback)
this book taught me to roll, on my own, no instructor. derek hutchinson's book is a classic but dutkey's is an instruction manual. personal creed: if you cant roll, don't go further than you can swim to shore. ergo, if you sea kayak, buy this book. forget the pawlata, it's impractical. go for the sweep roll and relish the freedom having a bombproof roll brings to your paddling.
