Greenland Rolling Practice 2025

First time out in my Greenland Kayak this year dusting off some Greenland Rolls. I'm using my Zegul Tahe Greenland built sometime around 2011 and a hand carved wooden Greenland Paddle from Ontario with a soft shoulder, rounded tips, and flat to elliptical blades. The numbers cited in this video reference the Competition Maneuvers List for the Greenland National Championships. I really enjoy trying to learn some of these skills. It's fascinating, challenging, but most of all FUN! I also threw in some non-listed maneuvers and a white water roll but forgot to do a C to C Roll. There are a number of versions of the Qaannat Kattuffiat (Rolling/Maneuvers Championship List) online.
