But needless to say keep practicing. As you're coming out of the water body looks too upright and paddle looks too steeply angled. My guess is that life will be easier when you get your longer paddle back. Great ! But needless to say keep practicing.

I never saw anyone as graceful and flexible as Cheri Perri (as featured in "This is the Sea III", along with Freya). Her rolls (in a Greenland-type kayak) appear to be about as natural as breathing, and about as effortless. FP: That link from Chris Travers is really worth your while (thanks, Chris!).

It took me a lot longer to get things to that stage. You'll find that as your technique improves it's takes less and less energy. A great source for references is the Kayak Ways website by Cheri Perry and Turner Wilson.
