Introduction to the Greenland Paddle and Basic Paddling Strokes
What to Bring
Course Fee
- Thinking about trying Greenland style kayaking, but not sure you want to commit to the
ACA Intro to Traditional Qajaq Skills full-day class? Then, this is the perfect course for
you. Learn the basics - safety, lingo and how to maneuver a kayak - in two fun-filled
hours. Paddlers will learn basic traditional techniques that can enhance paddling
performance and how the Greenland paddle reduces fatigue, decreases a potential of
developing tendonitis or tenosynovitis, and is generally nice to the muscular-skeletal
system of the human body. Be sure to follow this one up with a brace and sculling, and
self recovery class and you'll be off to a great start.
What to Bring
- Bring your own qajaq paddle, kayak, spray skirt, and PFD, or let us know if you need
equipment. Although most sea kayaks respond successfully to traditional techniques,
some perform better than others do, such as those that are narrow (23” or less), low-
volume, with a low stern deck. I recommend the following kayaks for this class. A secure-
fitting spray skirt is important. Some traditional paddles will be available. Dress
comfortably and bring layers appropriate to the day's weather. For rolling practice in
cooler weather I recommend using a wet suit or dry suit (or dry top). Participants should
bring a picnic lunch. Other handy items include a water bottle, sun block, a strap for
glasses, and nose clips (though we have a few extras to loan).
Course Fee
- The $40 course fee is payable upon registration. This amount includes instruction,
insurance, resource materials, and snacks and beverages during breaks.
It does not include all equipment; rental fees may apply for boats.
