Rolling with Sticks® Guidebook and Video by Chris Crowhurst now available for free download


Our recent kayak rolling class with Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson demonstrated a strong interest in Greenland style kayak rolling among NACK members.  While there are many exotic Greenland rolls, the Standard Greenland Roll is probably the easiest roll to master and can be done just as well using the familiar “Euro” paddle.

Anyone who has tried to learn how to roll their kayak is certainly familiar  with the frustration involved in mastering this skill.  Fortunately there is a wealth of information on how to do it. Now Christopher Crowhurst, the creator of  the Rolling with Sticks® Guidebook and Video, has decided to make both the book and video available for a free download.  Heres the story as Chris puts it.

Rolling with Sticks® started as a fun project to document the progress I was making as I learned the different Greenland style kayak rolls. This work evolved into the water proof guidebook that is available for sale in the webstore. After completing the book I realized that during the time I learned the rolls I had recorded enough video to assemble a video guide of all the rolls. I used video extensively to critique my rolls and sent them to many great rollers for their feedback. For the past two years I have provided the book and a DVD of the video for sale, and I will continue to do that. Both projects have now paid for themselves and rather than continue to make money from these projects I have decided to release both and make them freely available for download. You can continue to buy printed copies of the book on waterproof paper, as well as copies of the DVD if you want a physical copy, they are both available from my webstore
