yes you csn roll c1 very easily infact as your centre of gravity is higher so you get more leverage and you only have to worry about one blade

Newbie in a delirious here, can someone elaborate on this zero-to-hero? Definitely sounds like a way to amuse myself on the flatwater.

technically no as you have a higher centre of gravity and more leverage so once youve sorted it you will be rolling fast just try not to go back under by doing it too fast!

Also remember to use the blade for the roll not the t grip!

A C1 can be outfitted into anyboat. C1 ers rip so much harder than K1 because they can turn the boat so much faster on a wave or hole. They can blunt faster and spin way faster. C1 is much better for good frestyle. Check out the Video of Joe Stumpfel on the Fluid site.

I kayak with this guy from time to time and everytime I'm blown away.
