Saw this video in the Video section, and thought i'd like to learn it.

For those who dont know what a fake is,

You paddle backwards, and take a forward stroke onto the stern, then back deck roll (dry roll if possible) all the way round and onto the stern again.

I can stern stall with ease and back deck roll, but i cant get the boat to come back up onto the stern after the roll. Perhaps its a similar technique as done in Zero to Hero?

Any help much appreciated,

Cheers,

Simon

It helps if you have AT2 playak.com/media.php?src=dmlkZW9zL1RlY2h...IEt1dXNrb3NraS5tcGc= playak.com/media.php?src=dmlkZW9zL1RlY2h...aSBLdXVza29za2kubXBn

You got it. The difficult part for me was remembering to re initiate the stern because I'm so trained to finish a back deck roll sweeping and leaning aggressively forward.

What helped for me was to back deck roll half way up first, so that my boat edges were vertical and my paddle blade was out to the side. From that position, you just have to pull hard on the blade and sink your hips into the stern stall a la zero to hero. The less stern your boat has, obviously the easier this is...
