When you mean learning to flatwater does that mean you can bow stalll and stern stall but not connect them? Try doing squirts, surfing, or spinning on the wave or hole. BTW if you can almost flatwater cartwheel then cartwheeling in a hole is much easier. good luck!

no i cant bow stall or stall on the stern yet but i can double pump fairly well. lol. its very sloppy though and i go in nearly every time. ive been paddling about 4 yrs but ive only had my BCU 3 star about 3 months. believe me when i say im no-where near as good as the guys that i paddle with. ill have a go at a cartwheel in a hole though. thanks for that. si there anything i should know about rollin in a hole because some of the holes that i have seen look quite scary.

cheers
