A: Set up with the paddle held vertically behind your back cup the bottom of the blade with your left hand, and with your right hand reach up above your head and grasp the loom with your palm towards the front of the boat. Now if you are like me you probably at this point have the paddle in the middle of your back along your spine right? Well don’t… slide it slight to the left of your spine and as you lean forward allow you left (lower) hand to move away from your back, dip the paddle in to the left of the boat and roll leftwards.
B: Now wait. Wait until you flot to the surface and you sense your balde tip is right up there with you. Then this roll now follows much of the standard Greenland roll, arch your back and press with your knee to start the boat roatating.
C: Then sweep the paddle and your whole body aft.The key to successfully completing this roll is to adjust the paddle angle along you back as you sweep around. Do not aim to leave the paddle parallel to your body allow it to lag behind so that it end up angled out from the boat while you are leaning on the aft deck.
D:The easiest way to do this is to raise your left hand up your back and push your right hand out away from your body, this will allow you to brace up a little on the paddle at the end if you need some assistance getting onto the back deck.
If when learning to do this roll you find you are stuck in a static brace with the paddle out under your head and you are unable to get your back and head onto the back deck, then you have simply forgot to adjust the paddle angle during the sweep, I found the angel roll was a simple recovery from this awkward spot! Keep practicing and don’t try and rush the sweep take your time and give yourself the chance to adjust the paddle, remember raise your left hand up and push your right hand out.
