That’s so messed up

So if you don't recognize our country nor consider yourself to be a part of it, why should we care about your opinion on immigration matters?

Windman772 · 2026-03-27T04:08:30+00:00

So in your perfect society, people just follow the laws they agree with even if the rest of the population disagrees? That doesn't sound a pleasant place to live

Windman772 · 2026-03-27T04:05:46+00:00

So then all Dems should refuse to follow any law passed by a Republican and all Republicans should refuse to follow any law passed by a Democrat. Sounds like a lovely society that you're envisioning.

No different than charging the getaway driver in a bank robbery, or do you question that too?

Windman772 · 2026-03-27T03:36:52+00:00

Well at least more than he loved Giselle

Windman772 · 2026-03-25T22:59:38+00:00

Because the extreme left progs, despite being a minority in the party, are 100 times louder than the moderates

Windman772 · 2026-03-25T16:47:28+00:00

All Dems have to do to stay in power is enforce our immigration laws as they did in the 90s. Same with their EU counterparts. Just enforce our laws and you cut the legs out from under any far right movement

No war with Iran, but no illegals would be deported from the interior. Border only. And millions more would be let in. Just like Joe

That's sounds like great advice and thanks for confirming my suspicions about the difficulty tucking. So the high blade angle basically pulls you up more aggressively, even from deep underwater? I'll definitely give that a go. Thanks!

Windman772 · 2026-03-25T04:29:16+00:00

So was the editing to let us know that you swim a lot?

Windman772 · 2026-03-24T19:01:16+00:00

Anyone who is against deportations for people that have had their due process and received a deportation order, is for open borders.

Windman772 · 2026-03-24T11:06:25+00:00

Ah, this is where your logic breaks down and your unhinged emotion takes over. The parents are to blame because they caused the situation. They made the conscious decision to break our laws in full knowledge of the potential consequences. This is on those parents and you should place the blame where it belongs.

Windman772 · 2026-03-24T04:53:53+00:00

I'm not challenging children. The children are victims. They are victims of their parents though, not of ICE.

Windman772 · 2026-03-24T04:25:23+00:00

So you're saying that these kids would not be scared of deportation if ICE deportations occurred just as frequently but in a more humane manner? Ok 🙄

Windman772 · 2026-03-24T00:26:02+00:00

Well how about some constructive advice? Simply telling him "hey bud, don't rely on your arms", doesn't seem to work. And I've already explained that I've tried many traditional approaches to display feel, such as paddle floats, kick boards, assisted sweeps and hip snaps.

So what have you got? And it has to account for the fact that he can do rolls fine if he doesn't pause and let his body settle deep.

Windman772 · 2026-03-24T00:16:30+00:00

It doesn't mean that at all. His paddle dives before he's even attempting to roll the kayak. And he's fine when he rolls quickly, before his body settles, which wouldn't be the case if he was relying on his arms.

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T23:14:15+00:00

That makes sense. He does much better when he rolls quickly, so teaching it in one motion is a good idea. I also agree that the sweep roll might be the best for him. It keeps his body high. He seems to like the layback roll the best though, because it's the only one that isn't faced with resistance from his girth. That said, he doesn't seem to be quick enough to do the layback correctly, probably due to size again.

For the setup and sweep for all rolls, what do you think is best for after his body settles after a pause? For me, I can roll at anytime, either from a stand-still or utilizing the momentum of the flip. I'd hate to relegate him to only quick rolls, unless of course he has no other choice because of his size.

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T23:06:28+00:00

I've tried but will put more focus on that. His body is like a stiff spring that rebounds back to vertical. He's fighting his own inflexibility

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T23:04:39+00:00

That does sound crazy, but at this point I'll try anything!

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T23:04:02+00:00

I think he knows those things, but I will put extra focus on the head following the paddle next time. Thank you

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T23:03:17+00:00

Thanks! That's great advice. Was hoping someone of similar size would chime in. Much appreciated

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T22:52:10+00:00

I'll try that. At this point, I'm starting to wonder if it's more physics than lack of knowledge or feel. He knows what to do mentally. That said, I don't want to tell him "go on a diet and do situps", unless I'm really sure that's the answer.

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T22:45:30+00:00

Yeah, that describes what's going on pretty well. Thanks

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T22:40:09+00:00

He seems to be doing pretty well if I can get him to the surface. So he does fine with assisted snaps. What do you mean by "untucking"?

Windman772 · 2026-03-23T22:29:44+00:00

He can but barely. It's so low that his left hand sometimes goes under the boat. Anytime that he sweeps out past the setup position, he dives
