What Wikipedia says

A kayak roll is the act of righting a capsized kayak by use of body motion and/or a paddle. Typically this is done by lifting the torso towards the surface, rotating the hips to turn the kayak upwards and applying a small force by means of the paddle to assist the torso back over the boat.
