Carving your own Greenland paddle

November 19th, 2007 No comments

I was looking around for information on Greenland kayak paddles.  They look somewhat like a carved lollipop stick :-).

Anyway, there’s a great site out there at https://carvegp.com which includes both a PDF with instructions and a full length video demonstrating the technique.  I’m going to give it a go and make one for Lynn.   Greenland paddles are super popular since they are made to allow you to paddle for hours on end without fatigue.  They also provide assistance when eskimo rolling since they are quite buoyant.
