In the interest of encyclopedic inclusiveness, one might add to Michael Daly's neat compilation <http://members.rogers.com/michaeldaly2/kayakRollingXref.htm> the hand roll I think Nansen described teenage kayakers doing in one of his books about Greenland. Before going over, the roller places a small stone in each palm. After completing the hand roll, he opens his palms to show he has not lost his rocks, thereby demonstrating he did not paddle his way around. It probably has a precise name in Greenlandic or Inuktitut meaning "teen-ager showoff roll."
