Some members may have heard of the Delmarva Greenland Retreat. Not a lot of rock gardening in Greenland, but they do have fun rolling kayaks. Thought I would post a couple videos of unedited clips I took last year at the Delmarva Greenland Retreat. These are unedited clips so they exhibit some disjointed continuity.
This was demonstrating different rolls in the pool. Thursday evening entertainment before most members arriving on Friday for the weekend.

This one is more technical, with the purpose of teaching technical details on learning the Forward Finishing roll. Most YouTube postings show how to roll, but light on mistakes. Here is a complete session on teaching with major and minor mistakes. The volunteer learned the basics in about an hour real time. The audience were members (ie. mentors) that would be teaching this roll to others. Like any sport, it's the details, unnoticed by casual observers, that make things work nicely, or work at all.
I boosted the volume as much as I could but still it is weak at times. It is in 4K so a bigger screen helps in observing details.
