Superb material, wow! Perhaps the best tutorial on Greenland techniques. Thanks and respect to Maligiaq Padilla for demonstrating and John Heath (r.i.p.) for documenting. And to Andrew for making this available.

Thanks a million for documenting the history and showing us in such detail!

I was there! Starting at 24:00 the video was shot in my pool in Tacoma Washington. Along with Maligiak was John Long (narrator), Harvey Golden, Les Uhrich and myself, John Winskill. Wonderful memory. Awe inspiring!

What a skill. He or you makes it look so effortless. This is a blessing just to watch you do this. I recently purchase a greenland paddle but have not tried it yet. Bad storms and lightening so not until next weekend. I can't wait.

Great advice so I thought I should index it 0:35 Beginner paddle advice 1:20 Blade power and stroke enhancement 1:35 Blade angle - optimal 40% better for speed as more powerful 2:58 Short paddle used for sliding, better for use in storms and windy conditions - the technique reduces the wind resistance of the blade that is out of the water as well as on-coming waves 3:48 How to turn more easily by holding the paddle at the end 4.30 Skulling 5:13 Paddling for longer by using legs, back, stomach and shoulder but not arms as they tire easier 5:33 If upside - how to manage the paddle
