The list of rolls is here (with links to pictures of some):

I stand corrected, but come ON. Holding a brick?! Where the fuck is an Eskimo going to get a brick first of all, and why would anyone in a kayak be holding a brick for any reason? Beyond this, if you did have a brick in your hand while kayaking and rolled over, the simple thing to do would be to drop the damned brick!

Why don't they have a roll where the kayaker has a rabid porcupine strapped to his chest? That'd be worth at least 20 points. :rolleyes:

12 pound salmon grabbing you on yer face...Now there's a roll to know.

A brick weight is about 3 or 4 pounds I'd guess. Now when they are out in their kayak the chances of having a brick in hand are from what-are-you-kidding-me to not-a-chance-in-hell. However they could have something about that weight they really really don't want to lose. To make the contest uniform they use a brick, then if they drop it in a choice between brick and air it's not a big deal.
