How many types of kayak roll are there?

1. The C-to-C roll: This is the most basic roll and is the one that most people learn first. It involves starting in a capsized position and using your paddle to rotate your body 180 degrees so that you end up sitting in the kayak again.

2. The sweep roll: This roll is a bit more advanced than the C-to-C roll and requires you to use your paddle to sweep the water away from your body as you rotate. This helps to generate momentum and makes it easier to complete the roll.

3. The hip snap roll: This roll is similar to the sweep roll but involves using your hips to snap your body around instead of using your paddle. This is a more dynamic and powerful roll but also requires more practice to master.

4. The Eskimo roll: This roll is the most advanced of the four and involves using your paddle and body to rotate your kayak 360 degrees so that you end up sitting upright again. This is a very challenging roll but is essential for whitewater kayaking.
