The Inuit call this roll Pakassummillugu/unermillugu.  It simply means that the
kayaker holds the paddle between their bicep and forearm.  The inboard hand
grasps the paddle blade as per a standard roll, outboard hand holds the paddle
clamped in the elbow.  After rolling, the kayaker must return to initial setup
position with the paddle still held in the crook of your arm.  

History/Purpose:
    Recover with something held in the hand, or with one hand injured or
    entangled with line.
