Slim looker messed up kayaking manoeuvre (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

eskimo roll

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'up kayaking manoeuvre' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'slim looker messed' is the wordplay.
'messed' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get messed up).
'slim'+'looker'='slimlooker'
'slimlooker' with letters rearranged gives 'ESKIMO ROLL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eskimo roll that I've seen before include "Capsized kayak manoeuvre" , "Canoeing manoeuvre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
