Going through the surf zone can be a struggle!
What is a turtle roll?
The turtle roll, also known as the Eskimo roll, is a surfing technique that allows you to get past the breaking waves in challenging conditions, especially when it’s closing out and the waves hit the overhead mark.

  1. Mostly likely it doesn’t work. The carrying cycle at backside simply tows back with strong energy.
    Only chance seems to stay above surface in order to minimise contact with every inch.

    Situation is you cant do a roll when you flipped in the middle of the running cycle.
    It tears overwhelmingly.
    I worked that out on a Prixox Fly.

  2. Amazing. Very well done. I’ve been surfing 40 years & the duck dive (short board) and Turn Turtle (long board) are both a challenging learn. Each have their own nuisances & subtle differences. But your pushing a damn boat under a decent sized breaking wave. Bravo !!!!

  3. First was the guy holding a camera while a big wave was coming towards him and now I have this in my recommendations lol. Waves can be fun and scary at the same time.

  4. Considering that water looks like it’s 40° at best I would just try to ride the way it’s not roll myself into the freezing water plus wood in your kayak fill up with water when it breaks the surface?

  5. That would be the most frustrating thing ever. Youre just catching youre breath when another wave comes and youre also getting no where

  6. Very unstable, you can drown in seconds with that roll over manouvre. Better to swin with an thick neoprene swimmsuit.

  7. And this is why surfing or kayaking, apparently, is a hell of a workout. The "on the wave" part is the ‘easy’ bit

  8. Damn, I’m not familiar with kayaking. I assumed they did this as a drill so they could right themselves if they tipped on accident. I never thought of it as a legit technique for a situation like this.

  9. I’m just going home 🏡 and I’m not going home 🏡 I just don’t feel comfortable and it’s a big thing I have no control I have a job I need my mom 👩 I need a break I’m just not sure 🤔 what about that one ☝️ but yeah 👍 and 0:28

  10. Those waves need a duck because there’s not enough speed to paddle through them. Everyone knows to paddle hard into waves. The duck works in scenarios like this. After a few sets, home free open ocean
