The Reverse Screw Roll is used when for any reason
the paddler has capsized and been pushed on to the back deck,
or the paddle blade is at the back of the boat; typically this
occurs if the boat capsizes over the paddle during a bow stroke.
The wind-up position is reached in the same way as the wind-up
for the Steyr. The roll can be particularly useful as a follow-on
to a Screw Roll which does not quite bring the paddler back into
balance: the blade position is quickly reversed and a Reverse
Screw follows. More commonly, a Screw Roll backs up a Reverse
Screw which fails. |
