Brilliant video. I've never seen these paddles. They look like you spent a lot of time developing their shape. Can you tell the advantages of this shape over the standard kayak paddle.?
+Stephanie Elizabeth Mann Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your kind comments! The paddles we build and use were developed, along with their kayaks, by the Greenlandic seal hunters over many centuries, so we cannot take any credit for their shape. Like anything handmade however, we can't help but leave our mark. Each paddle is made to suit the paddler and their kayak. Moira and I prefer the Greenland paddle for the way they are kind to your body with less torque on the wrists. We find we're able to paddle long distances without discomfort. These paddles are double sided making orientation easier, and designed to be easily extended in your hands for greater control when manoeuvring, surfing and rolling etc. A Greenland paddle will propel a sea kayak just as fast as a euro paddle but can lag a little in acceleration. A Greenland paddle is not for everyone or kayak type and different techniques are required, however we certainly think they are worth a try! There is a lot of information on the subject available online. Hope this helps! Cheers, Moira & Greg.
My pleasure. My partner spoke to you when she helped you with your glasses and so i had a look at your video. I used to paddle a kayak with the Far North Coast Canoe club (they have a Facebook page). Now I paddle in the Redcliffe Red Dragons Dragon boat team. I enjoyed your video. You and Greg go to a lot of beautiful locations.
Hi Enric,
We used a GoPro HD Hero 960 and a Panasonic DMC - FT2 on a variety of home made mounts.
Thank you for your kind words and interest :-)
