New pages with rolling pics

Cross arm roll

At the Sommadagarna - a water festival in lake Sommen in August, I did a couple of Greenland rolling demos. At one of these Peter Schedwin sat on a float nearby with a camera. The result he shipped to me on a CD some days later.

And so good were these pics, that I immediately began thinking of rolling instructions pages built on them - pages that could inspire other Greenland rolling aficionados. Here is a few of those new pages (instructions in Swedish yet, but I will translate soon) - they are of course also in the main menu left ("Paddling-Kayak paddling-Eskimo roll"):


Shotgun roll
Hand roll
Norsaq roll
