Event – Log Rolling

Great file on how to start with Log Rolling.
Keep in mind, I’m not a log roller. Risks can be involved with any kind of activity.
Since this one is held on water, never do it alone. A bad fall could lead to drowning.

Always practice with supervision. And try to ask the professionals for advices.
