Unfortunately user error resulted in no pictures or video of this session.
I used my two Greenland paddles, in a pool setting there is a negligible difference between them despite the 10 cm length differential. I'm looking forward to some experimentation on longer sea trips to work out the best paddle for me.
I used a Perception Super Sonic, I'm less than the maximum user weight and found it comfortable and with plenty of legroom. I managed my first ever re-entry roll, but that was only possible if I put the spray deck on while underwater. The large cockpit entry scooped up enough water to swamp the boat in a single roll without the deck being on. I was encouraged by how easy it is to get into the upside down kayak, much simpler than I expected and with my sea kayaks two bulkheads I should be able to roll up with or without the spray deck fitted.
At the end of the session I popped something in my left shoulder trying to hand roll the Super Sonic. I don't have any kayaking planned for the next month at least, due to the expected birth of our latest kayaker, so hopefully the injury won't cause me to miss any planned paddles.
