 Maybe there is a style of Greenland technique but not a definite one and
only way.
Look how the same skin boat built for people of different sizes looks like
a different kayak. Who knows if this Champs grandfather paddled the right
way in his time?( maybe he was the odd one out) There may not be a correct
way to paddle the Greenland style but many similar ways.It could change
some village to village. Maybe you are doing it right and every body else
is wrong or visa-versa??
