184:(1900–1966). Although not, as he claimed, the first European to acquire the skill, he developed a technique in which the hand grips the end of the paddle, which proved easy to master. His "Pawlata roll" is still sometimes taught to beginners. Greenlandic kalaaleq, Manasse Mathæussen (1915–1989), earned a living giving rolling demonstrations and kayak stunts for films. In 1949, he set a record by performing 10 successive rolls in 18 seconds.

There are many types of roll, which involve subtle variations on the common technique of combining a paddle stroke at the surface with a hip-flick. One key to all rolls is that the head comes out of the water last, following the paddler's torso—not first, which presents a non-hydrodynamic profile and

The Sweep Roll represents one of the earliest techniques employed in kayaking. In this maneuver, the paddler initiates an arc motion with the paddle, starting at the bow of the kayak. This technique facilitates the paddler's proximity to the water's surface, providing a tactical advantage in aerated

The Screw Roll is typically the initial maneuver taught to novices in the realm of kayaking, and is frequently referred to as "the roll". This roll is used in various water conditions, though its requirement for a reasonably spacious area for learning can limit its usefulness in confined spaces or

Instruction for the Screw Roll emphasizes simultaneous rotation of the torso and the paddle shaft. This coordinated movement is designed to reduce resistance and position the kayaker in an optimal paddling stance. Over time, modifications to the original Sweep Roll have been introduced to further

or in general when the paddler goes over whilst on the back deck. In this scenario it is far quicker to perform this roll than to move the paddle into a set-up position for a more standard roll. The disadvantage of this roll is that it leaves the face exposed and poses some risk to the shoulder.
233:
A common end position for this technique places the paddler further back on the kayak, with the head lowered. The Sweep Roll is characterized by maintaining a flat paddle orientation throughout the roll and concludes with the paddler slightly leaning back. This roll technique has been widely and

used several techniques that allowed the kayak to be righted with or without a paddle, also using only one hand, or without hands at all. A survey in
Greenland in 1911 found that of a total of 2,228 hunters with a kayak of their own, 867 were able to roll.

Thirty-five different types of roll and related maneuvers are performed at the
Greenland Kayaking Championships. Different rolls have different purposes, such as righting the kayak if the arms are entangled or injured, if the paddle is lost, if the

enhance its efficiency. One notable modification led to the development of the Screw Roll, a technique that involves a full upper body rotation, enabling the paddler to maintain an upright position throughout the maneuver.
250:
Despite these technical differences, the terms "Sweep Roll" and "Screw Roll" are often used interchangeably in common parlance, blurring the distinctions between the original technique and its modern adaptations.
