Technique and mindset coaching
Maximum 1:3 instructor student ratio. We’ve found this ratio to be ideal for rolling. You get focused, individual attention; breaks to recover and integrate what you are discovering; and, a chance to watch and learn from your peers.
Your Instructors
Your instructor will be Jordan Taylor or Laura Kurup, both skilled rolling instructors who offer video analysis and have experience teaching and troubleshooting the kayak sweep, kayak c-to-c, and canoe roll.
You can note your instructor preference when you sign up. We’ll do our best to match you with the instructor you request, although we can’t guarantee it.
Why pool sessions?
A solid roll builds confidence to explore new rivers and push your limits safely. Whether you're learning for the first time, perfecting your technique, or maintaining skills that have gotten rusty, PSI instructors can help. Even advanced boaters benefit from periodic tune-ups with video analysis.
These small group sessions fill quickly, and winter pool time is precious for skill development. Contact us to discuss your specific rolling goals or book your rolling session today.
