Learning to successfully roll is something that every kayaker should consider as a mandatory skill before taking to the open water.

Typically most students will learn the basics in a one hour session and become proficient within two hours of one to one coaching. Once learned, it is a skill that will greatly increase your other kayaking experiences as it helps to build your confidence and willingness to try new challenges.

Rolling lessons are based in the BOP Polytechnic pool and NZ Kayaker provides all equipment. Please feel free to bring your own gear (e.g. favourite kayak) if you are specifically wanting to learn in that. You may also wish to suggest another location that may better suit your needs.

The average time for a person to learn how to roll is between 1-2 hours and this will take you from a complete novice level to being competent roller. Times typically vary because of things like prior kayaking experience, water confidence, and fitness level.
