I think its funny that someonxe invented an inflatable roll assist. I'm sure it'll go big with some sea kayakers... wait, actually it seems completely useless.

No sh*t- maybe it will find favor among the sea kayaking crowd, but really any kayaker should learn to roll. So I hope it doesn't. Those novice sea kayakers seem to have enough crutches already without adding to them.
But yeah, Dave remains mostly a Douche Bag. That sh*t's not cool, D4 a.k.a. Dangerous Dave.
Besides, Dave:
from what I saw that time at the Take out for the Middle Middle, Maybe YOU are the guy who needs to purchase the clever little roll assist. I mean, when you swim THREE FEET from the take out on the Middle Middle, clearly you need some sort of assistance yourself!

Blair threw himself into two very sticky holes, including one massive one that I wish I had video of because he just kind of gently dropped nose first into the thrashy meat of it - classic move. Anyway, thus the swims, frankly it made me realize I need to try more stuff like that even if it means I swim too. So Blair, cut that stuff out! :)

It's all fun and games until someone loses a paddle.

You guys are funny!!! Hahahahah, Blair doesnt need any roll assist, he is a great boater and has more guts than I do jumping in big holes like that. JP, on the other hand, might find some use with these bags to store all that hot air he has....heheheh...
<-----does that guy's neck ever get tired?

ha ha fair enough, Dave. But I don't need to store the hot air. PP's servers already take care of that for me. Sorry dude, it was just funny to remember your Middle Middle swim when you brought all this up..
heheheh....
it's ok though, we all do it

I for one wrote this device off as just another gadget. Boy was I WRONG! This thing is awsome. I mean you can just simply whip it out huck your meat and have either a floatie for swiming or a real word useful tool to right your capsized craft and continue to shred. Crutch you say! Ha! more like super human attachment tool. Atone for lack of skill you say! Wrong again, this is a tool for pushing the envelope. I throw it under my skirt sometimes to prevent implosion on some of the Gnarlier reaches of river which I can now enjoy comfortable in the fact that a missed roll will never be a problem again. Plus it has a unique color recognized by surveyors, loggers, and most key rescue agencies everywhere. Nothing says serious like a high tech roll assist device. Does your head hit the deck when you boof big falls. No longer a problem with the airbag impact prevention function turned on. I think the major problem this company has is that they are not marketed correctly. They simply are not reaching the core audience that has been asking for a product like this for so long. Only to be left wanting from some dumb book like Mike Dutkey's Bombproof Roll book. I mean seriously a book is great but laminated pages are heavy and I have a real problem reading upside down while being beaten senseless. To quote the great John Daley, "Grip it and Rip it" This product rocks.

I am completely serious. This product has taken me from tenative class IV paddler to full on balls to the wall no need to scout Class V-VI.

This is almost as good as the inflatable paddle float sea kayakers started using a couple years ago. From a retail stand point it was great because people would flip, swim, then inflate these paddle floats and grab there paddle while the paddle float blows away like a small sail boat, then they come back in and buy another, provided they didnt drown from not being able to re-enter there boat.
Im thinking about getting 2, one for each blade,
Ryan

I thought this thing was settled fellas. This thing rocks, all those who don't have it are jealous or afraid to admit that it is the secret to their newly found sickness. How do you think Dan P. got so good so quick, Huh? I mean the guy swims on Jefferson, buys one of these, and commences to rip, in short order I might add. End of story. You either got one, want one, or are wildly jealous of those who have one.
