Dave Bowman sent me a link to a video of this guy called Robbie Virostek doing a back deck roll and then a one-handed roll in a way that made them look totally effortless. (As in, seriously amazing.) Here’s the clip:
Robby’s awesome !! So is is family, great people great paddler !!!!
Wow, I can’t believe you know this guy. Where is he from?
Robbie took the ACA class with all of us last November and showed off his amazing rolls. He was 17 then. There happened to be a girls swimteam practice before our pool session, and they were all gathered in the bleachers, giggling and cheering him on to “roll, roll!” It was so dang cute.
He’s from down near Portland somewhere and came up with Sam Drevo.
