Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Shows You How to Eskimo Roll a Kayak
If you've been wanting to learn how to roll a kayak, now is your chance.
After watching a video of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. doing an eskimo roll on the Green River, I asked him if he'd be willing to do a primer on how to roll a kayak that we could feature on EcoWatch.
The video shows Kennedy teaching his 18-year-old son Finn how to do a kayak roll. After practicing on land, Kennedy and his son take to the water. Be sure to watch the entire video as there is a surprise ending.
