I recently took an advanced rolling class in Charleston SC.  I walked up ready
to rumble and the instructor asked me where my Greenland paddle was.  "I, um,
I don't have one." I said.  "Oh I have plenty. Go pick one out." He replied.
Why do I need one?  I asked.  "Because its a Greenland advanced rolling
class."  He said laughing.  I had  held a Greenland paddle. Once. A few years
earlier.  It was kind of a long but fun two hours.  I had the highest volume
boat in the class.  It was  a Pintail.  I was by far the worst roller there. I
swam twice. I don't swim much. Its good to be humbled at times.
