Reed Avataq Rolling Floatation Aid

An inflatable Avataq with proper buoyancy designed for those learning to roll.

Learning to roll can be complicated, but with the right aid, it becomes significantly easier. An Avataq allows you, in the early stages of your rolling practice, to not rely on your paddle to right your kayak. Instead, you hold onto this buoyant device, which provides strong support and gives you greater control. This makes it easier to break down the roll into smaller components, simplifying the training process. It features sturdy straps that ensure a secure grip.

This is a modern take on a Greenlandic Avataq, which was traditionally made from seal skin.
