The Eskimo Roll is the act of overturning a capsized kayak by use of the paddle and body motion. Typically by lifting the torso towards the surface, flicking the hips to right the kayak halfway up and applying a righting force by means of the paddle while tucking close to the front or back deck.
Not to be confused with Arctic Roll.
