Re: [Paddlewise] Skin on Frame Boats

Kirk:

I am not sure if you caught it but Dubside actually went to Greenland this
yr and came out with a number of medals. Only second to Maligiaq in the men'
s category. Of course he was in the "foreigner" (non Greenlandic boat)
category. He is the only one known to fully complete a straight jacket roll
without lifting his elbows. Others do it, but fail to qualify for full
points as they inevitably lift their elbows away from the torso.

And he does it all in that tub!!!!!  must be all the beansprouts and toffu
he eats!!!!

if you did not catch it his ropes demo is increddible.
