That sponson site had this in their ad copy! "In fact most Arctic people did not roll kayaks: Using floats, rafting up and ballasted designs, according to anthropologists. Most Greenlanders historically did not roll for serious survival. Nor any Canadian Inuit. Nor most Alaskan peoples. Rolling for reliable safety is a modern, commercial instruction myth. You must have reliable safety back-up. " Is this true??
