We finally had a nice day and I went out again and tried rolling. This time I paid attention to my position in the water after I was under the kayak. It was obvious this time that the kayak had not gone all the way over, so my setup was going down not out from the kayak. I ended up having to do a wet exit. On the next attempt I tried rolling the opposite way - rolling opposite to the side of my initial setup before beginning the roll. This time it worked. I was able to roll about 4 times. Clearly this kayak does not respond the way other kayaks do and does not roll completely over. I will need to practice figuring out the proper side to setup when I am under the kayak. The good news is that I know the problem I was having.
