Sick Boy:
that is the video they were showing at varsities.

david:
Yeah, You let go with one hand and grab the blade.

rog:
Wow, thats a savage lookin roll, did it use to be the main roll? or is it specific to that type of boat?

Jim:
Yes, the Pawlata roll used to be the standard one. You move your control hand back to the end of the blade and then roll in the usual way. It's from a time when rolling was all about leverage (long boats needed leverage) not hip-flick, then for a while it was taught as a step on the way to learning the combat roll, now it's of purely historical interest.

They don't teach it anymore because you kids are soooo good nowadays...

Jim.
