Quinten and Jen

This is the model of kayak I was in.

Jesse Dean, a friend in my ward, took me and another friend Jay Shular to a slow spot on the Provo River to teach us how to roll a kayak. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this. The water is below 50 degrees so we dressed in wetsuits and dry tops. You know, two layers of neoprene around the waist is very slimming

 We practiced wet exits, various stokes and rolling for five or so hours. With a little help we could right ourselves, but I never rolled back without help. I was surprised how disorienting it was to try and do upside down, under water, what seemed to make so much sense when I was upright. 

Regardless of how the rolling went, we had a great time.
