It's a complicated maneuver for sure, and keeping calm under water is the key to mastering this I think. When I went over in the river the first time I could have signaled for a rescue without punching out. Just didn't think of it. All I could think about was getting out of the boat. My friend John Hise loves to say that "adrenaline is an amazing thing." Probably be back on the water this week, and I'm sure that I'll have an opportunity to try some more. Your support means a lot.

You're going to get it. Good job on signaling for the eskimo rescue. Remember you can always swim for it (punch out). Push your limits some. Ask someone to be ready to give you an eskimo rescue if you don't successfully complete a roll attempt and you signal for a rescue. It will save time from having to empty your boat and get all set up again and you'll be able to make more attempts at rolling. One of them will be the magic time. Won't be long...:) p.s. you might try some breath holding exercises to increase your comfort level hanging in for a rescue and squelching that desire to punch out until you really have to.
