The new Rolling Float has arrived!
Rolling Float is a kayak roll training device. It allows you to practice rolling with confidence, with less wet exits and more elegance.
There are three key components to rolling a kayak:
#1 Driving the legs and thigh, #2 Body buoyancy, and #3 Paddle floatation.
Gearlab Rolling Float helps you to be more comfortable with your body balance during your kayak rolling practice. The product is intuitive and provides more initial buoyancy than a paddle. Using the Rolling Float, you can practice more with elegance and confidence, minus the cumbersome wet exits.
Colour: Cool Grey
How to use (see also Video):
One Grip Method - Grab the Rolling Float in one hand to practice Lay Back Rolls, aka a standard Greenland Roll.
Two Grips Method - Grab the Rolling Float in two hands to practice Forward Finish Rolls, such as a Storm Roll.
Self-Rescue Paddle Float - Gearlab Outdoor’s Rolling Float also doubles as an inflatable paddle float that will fit both a Greenland (narrow) or Euro (wide up to 22cm wide blades) style paddle for a standard self-rescue manoeuvre. Secure the paddle with the loop around the base of the paddle shaft.
When rolling it up for storage on your deck, roll on the logo side. It fits handily into the Deck Pod (sold separately) or use the clip to anchor to your perimeter line.
When inflating, twist and push the mouthpiece to lock.
