PADILLA This got me thinking, with the talk of the ACA and the BCU recognizing the Greenland style of paddling and teaching classes on it , did it get the approval of the Greenland kayaking club (?) and or they helping out or getting anything from it. Did they contact MALIGIAQ sense he is there representative here? It is there heritage and I have not heard whether they are involved or no. With the way the USA and the Brits are I would not be surprised if they were not even contacted but hope they were. After reading Greg Stamers article on the way MALIGIAQ paddles ( http://www.jacksonville.net/~dldecker/fskaGreenland.htm ) and talking to several people and watching several videos of the accepted way of Greenland paddling seems to differ from the way Greenlanders do it. So are we going to be taught the right way ( Greenlanders way) or our own way USA and Brittish. ??
