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.
