Namesake: A Journey to the Birthplace of Kayaking

This past summer Freya Fennwood traveled to Greenland with a three piece take-apart kayak designed specifically for her by her father, John Lockwood, to participate in the 30th Anniversary of Greenland's National Kayaking Championships. The film, "Namesake", follows along as John and Freya experience first-hand the beauty and rich culture of kayaking in Greenland.

What a cool video; I can see why she got the highest score. She's very graceful with her rolls

[@kenwebster5053]

That last roll is amazing! How is that even possible?

[@elliotw5918]

Those old school skin covered boats are so cool! 5000yr ago, Inuit paddled that design made from bone and skin, miles off shore to hunt for food. Original badassery.

A joy to witness the Greenland tradition and festival and especially the daughter and the father enjoying it together. Loved Freya's child-like jolt of surprise and joy over the successful straitjacket roll. Yeah, Freya, we all saw it! Nice editing!

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

Enjoyed this very much. I grew up on the River Murray in Australia and I taught myself to Eskimo roll left and right handed, without a paddle, using an old pair of shoes or just my hands. The awesome thing is, that particular skill for inverting has translated awesomely well into Jiu Jitsu, which I've taken up in my mid forties. My body remembered how. These things stick with you. Kayaking Tasmania in a Pittarak kayak was the highlight of my kayaking life. Planning to retire on a boat, which I'm building, so there's something about the kayaking life and the water which gets in your veins.

Kayak - "Кайык" в переводе на (Казахский, Турецкий, Киргизский, Татарский) будет означать: Лодка.

[@AnneDragonfly]

Does the boat easily disassemble into three pieces? Where do we find such designs??

[@thegrayyernaut]

Stuffs like this rarely ever make it pass 1 million views :< This one doesn't even pass 100 thousand... Such a shame...

[@divyaunnikrishnan201]
