Re: [Paddlewise] Greenland style paddling videos

While it is not specifically about greenland style paddling, Jay 
Babina has put together a video about sea kayak rolling which uses 
Greenland style techniques as the instruction method. It is a good 
video for anyone trying to learn to roll with any kind of paddle.

  You can get more info from Jay at jbabina_at_snet.net
